What we do

We love to Knit and regularly make items to donate to charity such as the local baby units within the hospitals. We bring our own materials and create whatever we want. We all help each other if we get stuck as we are all experienced knitters. We would love to see some new faces joining our group and learning this fun hobby. We love a good chat and enjoy a variety of cakes throughout the year. Some knit, some natter and some do both.

We're also lucky that a beauty therapist comes in to trim our toenails and gives us a mini pamper session approximately every 6 weeks.

Come and join us for a chat whilst learning or improving your knitting skills. We meet every Monday, beat that feeling of loneliness, have some fun and get those needles working. Come and make some new friends, meet new people and maybe even re-connect with old friends!

Who do we support

Everyone is welcome to come along and join us for a for a nice cup of tea, a natter and to get that feeling of fulfillment when making various handmade items from scratch. Put your leisure time to good use by helping local charities and getting yourself out and about.

PLEASE BE ADVISED DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK, THIS GROUP MAY NOT BE RUNNING AS NORMAL. PLEASE CALL IN ADVANCE, THANK YOU
