Zebrano Beach Party



Last weekend we brought the Caribbean sands to the 'shores' of central London with our annual Zebrano beach party in the heart of Soho.

The Handmade team spent months of planning to ensure this special event went off with an almighty bang! This year we decided to turn up the temperature with a steamy 'Love Island' theme.. equipped with sharing cocktail buckets and plenty of Love heart sweets!

Our bank holiday weekend started at 6am on the morning of the 26th.. we huddled around drinking strong coffee, rubbing our eyes and waiting for the 5 tonnes of sand to arrive at Ganton street. When it arrived, the real work began, shovelling all that sand into the bar was no mean feat! After hours of hard work, the final decorations were put in place and the party could begin!




To reward our hard work the Handmade team stayed to celebrate with some yummy Zebrano food and a few of the Love Island sharing cocktail buckets. The whole 4 day bank holiday was a roaring success once again and the Beach Party lived up to its 'legandary' name tag.

We are already counting down the days until next year..

Only 359 days to go.
