The Home-Start Herts Speakeasy event was a roaring success, raising £7600!
Guests were transported into the 1920’s from the moment they arrived. Greeted by the establishment’s bouncer at the door checking passwords and directing them to the side entrance. And it continued with cocktails of the era, performances from the best swing singer in town and a casino lounge.
