New monthly Pop in and Craft sessions in the Village Hall

We’re pleased to share that a new Craft Group has started in the Village Hall — a relaxed and friendly space where everyone is welcome.

The sessions are free to attend, and each month two crafts are demonstrated. If you would like to join in, packs of supplies are provided for you to use during the session or take home and finish later — perfect for beginners as well as experienced crafters.

This month we’ll be making Raggy Dolls and focusing on upcycling projects, giving old fabrics and materials a new life.

The café kitchen will be open from 10:00am, serving brunch, tea and coffee, homemade soup and a roll, hot dogs, and plenty of delicious cakes. Even if crafting isn’t your thing, it’s a lovely place to pop in for a late breakfast or lunch with friends.

All proceeds from the café go directly to support HDCC

Why not pop in this Saturday from 10:00am and see what it’s all about?

For all upcoming dates, please check the calendar here.
