Introducing our Launch Night Sponsors…
Doughnotts
Back in 2015, Megan Scaddan and Wade Smith turned their last ten pounds into something special… the first ever Doughnotts doughnuts. What started as a small idea has grown into a much-loved local brand with shops in Nottingham, Leicester, Lincoln and Beeston. These aren’t your average doughnuts, they’re handmade, bold, and loaded with all kinds of delicious toppings, with plenty of vegan options too.
If you haven’t experienced their dipped, dusted and deep-filled creations yet, you’re seriously missing out!

With indulgent creations like croffles, waffles, crepes, and sundaes made from the finest ingredients (think Belgian chocolate and Italian gelato), every bite feels like pure indulgence.
With over 50 stylish locations, they’re the go-to destination for anyone who believes dessert should always be an experience.
