✨ SPARKLES IS MOVING! ✨
We are beyond excited to share some incredible news… Sparkles has officially secured a brand-new home! 🎉
📍 From 1st October 2025, we will be based at:
The Berkshire Barn, Manor Farm, RG10 0PY
Throughout September, we’ll be gradually moving our equipment across, but please note all classes will continue as normal at Easthamstead Works until our final day there on Tuesday 30th September.

🌟 Our New Venue – What to Expect
We’ve worked so hard to find a space that will give our gymnasts the facilities they deserve, and we’re thrilled to share some of the features waiting for us:
✅ Car parking
✅ Reception area with viewing screens
✅ High ceilings – our High Beam & Trampoline are coming out of storage!
✅ Picnic tables & grass area for the summer months
✅ Coffee machine for parents ☕
This new chapter gives us the opportunity to create an even better training environment, where Sparkles sessions can continue to grow and shine. Like with any move, there may be a few teething problems at first, but together we’ll iron things out and be in full flow for the new year.

🎥 Sneak Peek Coming Soon
This week, I’ll be taking videos and photos of our new venue so gymnasts can start to picture their new home. Right now, it’s just an empty barn—but with a little imagination, you’ll soon see all the Sparkles magic inside!
