Mothers’ Day pampering Peak Village style

UK (SANEPR.com) March 13, 2009 -- Mothers’ Day is the opportunity to create a perfect day which mums are sure to remember and Peak Village is putting on its own celebration - offering all mums the opportunity to enjoy some free pampering for the body and soul! From 10.00am-4.00 pm on 22 March, Alive beauty salon will be giving free hand massages and manicures to mums, whilst the highly acclaimed Down Trodden String Band will entertain them with live acoustic music from 11.00am-3.00pm.

There is no doubt that for many mums the perfect day out at any time involves a bit of retail therapy. Shopping can be an exhausting affair, so Peak Village have decided to give mums the opportunity to take a break and enjoy a relaxing hand massage or mini manicure. Amanda, of Alive beauty salon at Peak Village will be encouraging mums to take a seat at her nail bar which will be located in the Courtyard, enjoy a therapeutic hand massage and mini manicure. Amanda said: “I’m a mum myself, and mums are always looking after the family so it’s nice to be pampered yourself once in a while. I am looking forward to seeing lots of excited mums of all ages on Mothering Sunday.”

Although the focus on this particular Sunday is mums, everyone can enjoy the free entertainment on offer at Peak Village from North East Derbyshire based The Down Trodden String Band. The band was formed in 2000 and since then they have built a reputation through performances at local venues, festivals and barn dances. Their repertoire draws largely from the traditional songs and tunes of the Southern Appalachians but also includes 1920s Tin Pan Alley songs and material from the likes of Robert Crumb and the Holy Modal Rounders. Their slightly unusual instrumentation – mandolin, guitar, banjo and octave mandolin – gives their music a distinctive and individual style but since all four can sing, they are perhaps best known for their strong four-part harmonies. Steve Wise, one of the band members, said: “When I realised that we would be performing on Mothers’ Day, I remembered the old Beatles Song, ‘lets all get up and dance to a song that was a hit before your mother was born’. We will definitely be adding this to our list for all the mums at Peak Village on Mothers’ Day”

If you don’t get the chance to see The Down Trodden String Band on Mothers Day they will be performing again on April 13 (Easter weekend).

Peak Village is home to nearly 20 retailers including national names like Cotton Traders, Leading Labels, Ponden Mill, The Cook Shop and Mountain Warehouse. The outlet shopping centre attracts 750,000 visitors a year and offers visitors the opportunity to combine shopping with other local attractions.
