A Winter Crafternoon Success

A big thank you to everyone who came along to and also to those who helped at our Winter Crafternoon yesterday. Also thank you for the kind donations to the East Bristol Food Bank,
A great time was had by all!

Can you help at our Winter Crafternoon on 3rd December?

We're trying something different for our Christmas event this year - look out for our Winter Crafternoon on 3 December. There are so many Christmas Fairs and shopping opportunities at this time of year that we feel we'd like to offer something different. A chance to just be, make something, have a cuppa and chat to your neighbours, maybe learn a new skill... oh and eat cake (there's always cake). If you'd like to help out on the day, get in touch, we'd love to hear from you!
