Fizz Creations have collaborated once again with Penguin Ventures, part of Penguin Random House, to launch a brand-new collection of licensed gifts featuring Peter Rabbit™.  Playing to the award-winning strengths of Fizz, the range includes lighting and children’s games in addition to keepsake gifting.

“It’s a really exciting time to be working with Peter Rabbit, it’s quite astonishing to see how this cute little illustrated rabbit has stood the test of time and will actually be celebrating his 120^th birthday in 2022.”
Zoe Ryan, Marketing Manager Fizz Creations

In addition to the range launching this Autumn, Fizz Creations has also worked with high street favourite Boots and supermarket giant Morrisons to design and develop exclusive Peter Rabbit gifting products for later this year.

As we move into autumn, our members have become increasingly busy and a lot has changed for them in terms of returning to ‘normal’.

To start with, we were able to celebrate together, face-to-face, for the first time in two years at our regional award meetings, which we held in late August and early September and were a huge success.

These awards, which are one of the highlights of our annual calendar, follow our inspections, where our dedicated team of independent inspectors visit each member centre, unannounced, to help maintain standards across all departments. These couldn’t take place in 2020, so we’re delighted to have been able to do them once again.

Blended with botanicals and water from the underwater streams of the Gypsey Spring that runs under the farm at Thixendale, the small batch gin is made at Raisthorpe’s Yorkshire Wolds distillery using its 40% proof gin.
