Our inaugural Christmas Open Day!

Published on

Written by: James

Saturday 12th December 2015 marked the Spicery's first ever Christmas Open Day ...but would anyone turn up??? 


As an online company we don't get a huge amount of contact with the wider world, so gauging the attendance of an open-invitation event such as this felt almost impossible! If only a handful of people arrived then Plan B would be deployed (do normal work), however, if legions of Spicefans came knocking at the door then things could have turned a little more frantic! Thankfully, fate applied Goldilocks' Law with a turn out that was 'just right' (around 200 people!) and a magically festive day was had by all complete with seasonal spiced snacks, our makeshift spice market, Make Your Own Curry Blend stall as well as guided tours of our HQ.
