Bring your creativity!
We provide some basic supplies, but encourage you to bring your own projects and materials to work on. Our sessions are free to attend, and we offer free refreshments. Feel free to bring friends or family members who are interested in crafting—the more, the merrier! Children are welcome as long as they are accompanied by an adult. Participants can engage in a variety of activities, encapsuling most creative pursuits, from knitting to music to art and much more!
Our sessions are open to all ages, with requirement that children must be supervised by an adult. We also welcome volunteers, so please contact us if you’re interested in helping out. All our venues have parking facilities, and donations of crafting supplies are always appreciated, which can be brought to any session.
How do I get involved?
There's no requirement for you to sign-up for this service. Simply drop in whenever you’re able to! Find out about upcoming sessions from our What's On page. By coming along to our Creative Community Café, you’ll have access to a welcoming community, free refreshments and a variety of crafting activities. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced crafter, you’ll find inspiration and support here.
