SIP & SHOP ENGAGEMENT RINGS

The Ultimate Engagement Ring Event: Sip, Shop & Say Yes to Something Special This November!

7TH NOVEMBER 2026

Let’s be honest—traditional engagement ring shopping can feel a little, well… stuffy. Walking into a high-street jeweller, feeling watched under harsh lighting, and staring at identical glass cabinets isn’t exactly how most people picture one of the most exciting moments of their life.

At Last Night I Dreamt, we do things differently. We believe choosing an engagement ring should be as joyful, memorable, and unique as your love story.

That’s why we’re inviting you to join us on Saturday, 7th November for our Sip & Shop Engagement Rings event!

Whether you’re planning a surprise Christmas proposal, drops hints together, or looking for something entirely bespoke, this is your ultimate destination.

Here’s everything you need to know about the event—and why making the quick trip to Southwell is the best decision you'll make all engagement-season.

Sip Prosecco at the UK’s ONLY Engagement Ring Bar 🥂

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need to book an appointment or buy a ticket for the Sip & Shop event?

Not at all! Our Sip & Shop Engagement Rings event on November 7th is completely free and open door. No tickets or appointments are needed—just pop into our Southwell boutique whenever suits you throughout the day to browse, chat with our experts, and enjoy a glass of prosecco.

2. Why is November 7th the deadline for Christmas engagement ring orders?

Crafting a bespoke or made-to-order engagement ring requires precision handcrafting, stone setting, hallmarking, and final quality checks. To guarantee that your custom piece is finished and delivered in time for a Christmas or New Year’s Eve proposal, November 7th is our final cutoff date for placing orders.

If you don't need your engagement ring in time for Christmas or New Year. Contact us to make an appointment, or call in to discuss your requirements with us.

3. Where are you located, and how far are you from Nottingham city centre?

We are located in the historic market town of Southwell, Nottinghamshire—just a short 25–30 minute drive or easy bus ride from Nottingham city centre. Many of our clients travel to us from across Nottingham, East Midlands, and beyond for our boutique atmosphere, specialist advice, and unique Engagement Ring Bar experience.

4. How does the 'Create Your Own' engagement ring system work?

Our interactive 'Create Your Own' process allows you to design a ring tailored to your taste and budget. You can choose every element step-by-step: pick your favourite band setting and metal (such as platinum, yellow gold, or rose gold), select your ideal diamond shape and specification, and see your vision come to life in a ring crafted just for you.

5. Can I use heirloom jewellery to create a new engagement ring?

Yes! We offer a specialised bespoke redesign service where we can incorporate sentimental or inherited jewellery. Whether you want to reuse family diamonds, melt down inherited gold for the band, or blend vintage charm with a modern setting, our team can guide you through transforming family treasure into a new symbol of your future.

6. What if I don't know my partner's ring size?

Don't worry—this is extremely common, especially for surprise proposals! Our team can share simple tips on how to discreetly estimate their ring size beforehand. Plus, many of our designs can easily be resized after the proposal, or we can assist you with ordering the exact size once you’ve popped the question.

7. Can I buy an engagement ring and take it home on the same day?

Yes! While we offer bespoke and made-to-order options, we also maintain a curated collection of beautiful, ready-to-wear engagement rings in store. If you fall in love with a piece in our display on November 7th, you can take it home with you that very day.
