Galentines Day is fast approaching, and although it is usually marked on the 13th of February, thankfully, these wonderful Galentines events across Sussex are spread out over numerous dates.

What is Galentines Day?
Galentines Day is the antithesis to what can sometimes be a disappointing Valentine’s Day. It is a coming together of women celebrating women, whether platonic or romantic. I, for one, absolutely adore this idea, as we get to spend time with our dear friends doing fun activities like sip-and-paint, pilates and nibbles or just drinking wine!
