The draw at The Serenity Centre was not just the bath bombs. It was the chance to walk into a free, low-pressure evening in Beeston and leave with something homemade, scented, and finished in under two hours. Forever Stars’ Bath Bomb Cafe put the focus on community first, turning a craft session into an easy social event for first-timers, families, and anyone who wanted a hands-on activity without needing supplies or experience at home.

The workshop ran on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at The Serenity Centre, 44-46 Wollaton Road, Beeston, Nottingham NG9 2NR. Participants were guided step by step through the process and invited to choose colours, fragrances, and decorative touches for their own bath bombs to take home. The format kept the evening accessible: no technical setup, no intimidating learning curve, just a straightforward creative session built around making something pretty, personal, and usable.

That simplicity is part of why bath bomb events keep finding an audience. The finished product is immediate and tangible, and the workshop format gives people a social reason to sit down, mix, shape, and make together. At a time when so many hobby nights ask for specialist tools or a big upfront spend, a free guided session lowers the barrier and makes the activity feel open to more people in the room.

Forever Stars brought more than a craft-night brand to the table. The charity was founded in 2014 by Michelle and Richard Daniels after the stillbirth of their daughter Emily in December 2013, and it supports families who have experienced stillbirth, infant loss, and perinatal or neonatal death. The Serenity Centre itself was established in October 2021 by Nottingham Forest legends Mark Crossley and Nigel Jemson, and Forever Stars says the centre is run entirely by volunteers, all of whom have experienced baby loss.

The Bath Bomb Cafe sat inside that wider support network. Forever Stars says its Serenity Suites at Queen’s Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospital have supported thousands of Nottingham families, and the charity has raised more than £900,000 across Nottinghamshire. It also received The King’s Award for Voluntary Service in November 2025. Seen in that light, the free workshop in Beeston was a gentle, hands-on way to bring people through the door, share time together, and make the charity’s community presence feel immediate and local.
