Dads Invited to Swap Pints For Ponytails

A new event on the island is giving dads the chance to level up their parenting skills, one ponytail at a time.

Gourmet Shakes N Snacks has teamed up with Prodigy Ltd to launch the Daddy Ponytail Academy, a playful but practical workshop teaching fathers the basics of children’s hairstyling.

From simple ponytails to beginner friendly braids, the session promises to turn even the most hesitant dad into a confident morning routine hero.

No Pressure

Held on Friday, April 24 at 6pm, the evening will use professional training doll heads so participants can learn without the pressure of working on their own children.

Alongside the hands‑on tuition, attendees can enjoy Gourmet Shakes’ popular coffees, shakes and sweet treats.

The organisers say the event is ideal for complete beginners or dads looking to sharpen their skills.

Tickets are £25, with limited availability. Bookings can be made by messaging Prodigy Ltd.
