Down at Apteekki from next week...

Go follow Apteekki for more of this...

Third time lucky! Having been let down for a second time!!! Double front sliding door bottle fridge free to anyone who can collect before end of day on Monday. It’s not new, needs a clean and a bit of tlc, but works perfectly and be good for someone’s garage for beers. There is a worktop section which fits on the top if also wanted. This MUST be collected - it’s heavy! - before end of day Monday, else it is going to the scrapyard as we have nowhere to keep it. Only ask if serious please!

Other councils could learn a lot from this FREE Trade Recycling service over in the next county (naming no names!) #plasticfreebingham?

Shop Counter (stainless steel and glass) (L shaped) and matching Cupboard/till station - for sale £250
Also stainless steel worktop with small inset sink and stainless steel cupboard (behind in pic) - can be included for free. Or available for £20. No taps.

Still for sale - £15 Circular Art Table

We still have a few bits of furniture that we aren't taking with us that are up for sale. Going cheap if can be collected this week to save us putting them on eBay or storing.

Moët and Chandon long pine wall wine rack £40. (SOLD)
... 15 wheelback oak chairs £10 each. (A few left) 2 square back oak chairs £10 each.

That's it folks! We are all sold out of all food and cake. Just drinks available now until we close up at 4pm. ❤️️

So here we are... our last day on Long Acre.
It's going to be hard to judge our food needs today, and some things are now off the menu due to not restocking - so no VLTs today!
But the Buddha Bar will be full for bowls, sweet potatoes will be in the oven and we have an amazing Thai Broccoli Soup with Pickled Cucumber in the pot - as always until they are gone!
... We have almond milk, tigernut milk, hemp or oatly chocolate for hot drinks.
Cakes are cherry and frangipane or black bean brownies - these will go quick! And beer is just £2 a bottle.
The last few pieces of artwork, and wallhangings are 50% off today, and some of our furniture is also up for grabs!
Hopefully, we will see some of you on the other side of the Vale mid April in our amazing new wellness space, Apteekki!
Happy Easter from #thefolks x

Half of us are over at Apteekki today with our building hats on!

Important Notice - Good Friday will be our last day of trading in Bingham. We have loved the last two years building our little business, meeting you all, and learning many new skills, but it is time to move onwards to our new adventures...
On Thursday, Ash and Jodie hop on a plane for an Easter weekend of debauchery in Amsterdam, after which Ash is getting on a much longer plane journey and heading out to Bali for a month to do her Yoga Teacher Training, something which she... has been yearning to do for a while. With Folks in Bingham closing, it has given her the nudge to go for it. She will be AMAZING and we wish her all the luck in the world, and are already looking forward to when she gets back in May and we can welcome her newly honed skills down at Apteekki. 🙌
Sophie has also jumped at the opportunity to make a life change, and is also leaving us at the end of the week - but on a one way ticket, having decided to emigrate to Australia to be with her soul mate and beau. We are so thrilled for her and we wish them both every happiness.💑
Both Amy and Daisy will be heading to University in September and we wish them both well for the future, along with the best of luck (not that either of the clever clogs need it) in their final A level examinations after the Easter break. 🎓
And those of us that remain will be moving over to the new place - Apteekki in Melton Mowbray.
When Jodie gets back from her holiday, she will be doing some proper adulting for a while, moving into a brand new flat, and taking on the full time role of Assistant Manager and Head Barista over in Melton with an overview of all things front of house and the day to day running of things. ☕️
Meanwhile, Georgia will be taking on the permanent Chef role in the "proper" kitchen (no baking cakes in a potato oven any longer) and also concentrating on everything behind the scenes. 🍲
We so hope you will pop in and say goodbye this week, but also come down and visit us at Apteekki in coming months... 💚
Thankyou all for your support - you can reach for your dreams and achieve them!
