Coffee & Crafts Mornings – Thursdays

Coffee & Crafts mornings

Thursdays 10am till 12pm £10 per session

Come along & enjoy a relaxing morning of creative crafts with Lindsay & Angela. During these fortnightly sessions we will guide you through the craft activity, providing all the instructions & materials you need. We even clean up afterwards. As always we’ll be here for a coffee & a chat (maybe even a biscuit or two) while we craft away.

The session is open to absolutely anyone who wants to come along & have a go. If you fancy taking a couple of hours to do something just for you, or if you homeschool your kids or want to come along with your support worker, we’d love to have you. We truly believe creativity has a huge positive effect on your wellbeing.
