Parties Tie Dye for!

30/8/2020

0 Comments

 
Our tie dye parties have been very popular recently, in these strange and unfamiliar times we’re happy to work in gardens or on patios or driveways, or even in garages!
From August 31st we can re-open again for social distanced workshops and small parties and we’ll continue to offer mobile parties,

​Mobile parties extra costs
Our additional cost is not only to cover travel but it takes us longer to pack the equipment up, and then unpack it all once we’re back at the workshop also, of course this is extra work that we wouldn’t have to do when we’re running them from the workshop as everything’s to hand.

Extra charge on average
Glasgow  £45
Edinburgh £25
Bathgate £20
Fife £35
Perth £45

Please feel free to email regarding other areas, larger parties may not incur as much

No Current Parties but...

16/6/2020

We have no current parties running just now, for obvious reasons, and we understand how difficult it can be to not only entertain the kids keep them amused but educating them also, so we’ve come up with a few fun kits to combat both challenges by have a load of new chocolate making sets, ready for posting or picking up from our Livingston workshop. 

​Remember of course our chocolate making isn’t JUST for the kids, we can send these out to your teacher, makes a lovely birthday present for any chocoholic or even a treat for someone special.

Renovations

4/3/2020

Well what a crazy ride we’re having here. in a year we’ve opened not one but TWO new premises and even though they’re both still under a bit of construction, we’re managing to run parties, workshops and events in both venues currently. 

Both venues are now unrecognisable from how we got them!
In Livingston, we’ve pulled down some of the temporary (and very wobbly!) walls which were worrying us as they were just not safe.  In September we found a consistent leak had been causing trouble in our kitchen, so this has now been completely ripped out and new cabinets added and flooring will be added as soon as it’s had enough time to try out. 
We’ve removed the ‘tanning and make up rooms’ and created more open space. 
There is a plan to remove the little room that we use for slime, but don’t fret as we have another better plan for this space. We’ve painted the walls white and still to add our ‘Gooey’ blue colour and colour changing lights. However,  our new lighting looks just lovely and we’ve let a lot of natural light into the workshop.

Armadale has also changed massively, we’ve changed the lighting, created a kitchen area with sinks and a lovely wooden worktop, plus our party room is bright and airy, we have an ongoing concern on one wall in this room, but we’re hoping this will be easily remedied. `we’ve painted the black walls to be white and of course one wall is our ‘Gooey’ blue to tie in with our logo. 

Who says this is just a party business!

We’ve now moved our Gooey1 from Kirkton Campus to Livingston Village and the transformation already is amazing, we have a main room, a UV (glow in the dark)  slime, putty and crafting room, toilets, staff room, kitchen and most importantly our own front door, in order to grow the business this has been a very important step for us and we’re continuing to grow and improve both the venues and the business as a whole.

Chocolate events throughout 2018

As we’re now well into 2018 we’re starting to get requests in from schools for the term ahead and reservations for parties and special events for summer.
We have now decorated our workshop room into a party room also so we now effectively have 2 party rooms that we can use at any point, some of our day time slots ahead have become quite busy so to combat this we are now offering evening parties.

News for Autumn 2017

​Entrepreneurial Sparks...


​I started entrepreneurial Spark just two weeks ago, lots of fun things planned and they’re certainly putting me through my paces already! 
We just started back after the summer holidays and already have 3 school reservations for the new term, when we broke up in June we were getting 2-3 per week so this term is already looking amazing with loads of birthday parties, a couple of corporate events and an 80’s night planned, along with September weekend, Half term, Halloween and of course Christmas.
Luckily the team are pulling together and helping with the planning of this.


​


New Workshop

We’re hoping to be at the end of discussions for our new workshop, loads of design, layout and product ideas are flying about, help to be in with a decent load of people at entrepreneurial spark to bounce ideas off, I really can’t recommend it highly enough.
​

Franchising

Yes we are now starting to take on franchising, you two could own your very own Gooey! If you’re interested, please pop me along an email : hello@gooeyevents.com

New Party room and LOTS of changes!

15/10/2016

1 Comment

 
Well this summer has been a whirlwind, we’ve now started work on a new party room and the direction of the business is changing slightly too.

We’ll now have party staff and workshop staff and we’ll soon be able to run from both rooms instead of turning people away when we have a private party. I’m very excited about this prospect.

We have mail chimp emails being sent out weekly and also we have a few more ‘team ups’ with other businesses including Appointedd, trip advisor, buyagift and even expedia! 

We’re still hoping to get signs put up, this is costly though so it’s on the back burner slightly.

​We started the new face mask package and we (believe it or not) have another couple of party packages starting soon also! ​

The workshop is getting there, slowly but surely.

We’re Hoping to be in for halloween 20116, but at this rate it’ll be next year!

We’ll certainly keep you all posted with any movements forward via our Facebook page and this website too of course!

We’ve announced that we are opening a NEW unit, this won’t be open for a few months and ALL party bookings will still be held in studio 14. 
Our new workshop will have a cafe, with hot and cold drinks, snacks, cakes and sandwiches, including kids sandwich packs for lunches.


It will also have a separate 'chocolate lab’ and a dedicated workshop space for chocolate making for the general public as currently we’re only able to cater for one or the other. 

All going well, this will be open in time for the summer holidays but it means that party times will be reduced to get exclusive use of 'the chocolate lab’ where parents will not be able to attend when their children are in the lab, but be able to see them clearly though a glass window.
We will also be able to sell items made by our staff from the lab.
Ladies afternoons and private functions will also be available.

As you can probably tell, we’re very excited about our new plans and although we have a lot of hard work in front of us, we’re hoping this will be a decent investment for both the business and Livingston as a whole as we will be employing staff for all sections of the business.

However, please note we are NOT currently recruiting for this just yet.

We now have a fair amount of stock made, from truffles to lollies and novelty items for Halloween and beyond.
Pop in and have a look or take a look in our shop

Picture
With the introduction of our shop also comes the choice of wedding and corporate favours, there is some foil wrapped love hearts, thank you chocolate’s and thank you lollies in stock, if you’d like us to make you some special truffles or something a little more unique however, please get in touch.
Please remember that ALL our base chocolate is Belgian White, Milk or Dark chocolate only, this is reflected in the price but we’re still competitive.
Our opening times have taken a stretch, instead of now Sunday only opening, we’re now open various times 6 days a week (closed Mondays) but we’re CLOSED during the 18th to the 25th of October and reopening Sunday the 26th of October for our Halloween sessions (check our special events page for full details) 
We have started our own TV channel ! 
It’s video’s of some of our parties and group sessions and shows the children having fun and a little mess. We’ll add to these video’s.
Picture
Birthday parties have suddenly became very popular, we have bookings up until April 2015 so far. A mobile team will also be starting up for private functions outside of our workshop.
Please remember you can also get a kit made up for the home, these are a great addition to our cocktail nights with www.thecocktailqueen.co.uk 
Please remember to follow us on facebook, it has more regular updates than the website, our twitter account is at @gettinggooey
and finally... please remember to book before you arrive, we only have a limited amount of spaces per session.

We’re currently only open at peak times like Friday’s, Saturday’s and Sunday's for the time being (until more find out about us!)
