Galentine’s at The Mill: Sparkle, Sip & Celebrate
Wednesday, February 11
Galentine’s is back at The Mill — and this year it comes with extra sparkle. Gather your favourites and enjoy an evening of sharables, desserts, batch cocktails, and ½-price bottles of house wine, while the ladies from Hilltop Electolysis & Laser pop up with permanent jewelry.
Permanent jewelry is a clasp-free bracelet, anklet, or necklace that’s custom-fitted and micro-welded for a seamless “forever” piece — the perfect way to mark a friendship. Bracelets start at $65 in silver, rose gold, or gold, with a portion of each purchase donated to Cornerstone Family Violence Prevention Centre.
Reserve your spot with a $20 EMT, which is applied as a food or drink credit the night of the event. Call your crew, book your jewelry time slot, and settle in for a feel-good Galentine’s night done right.
Kids, Crafts & Creative Love
