Our crafting group ‘Crafty Space’ meet in the Church Hall – usually on the 2nd Saturday of every month.
Crafty Space is a place and a time when a group of crafters meet together one Saturday a month in St Catherine’s Hall. Everyone is welcome.
They provide space, tables, power, tea/coffee & cake. All you do is bring along those craft projects you’ve always meant to find time to do!
All they ask is a donation of around £1.50 per person, per hour to cover hall costs and refreshments. They can accept card payments.
They also have a well-stocked swap box in which you are very welcome to search!

The service will be followed by tea and cake and a chance to chat.
