All abilities welcome
Come along to our craft and chat group: enjoy learning how to crochet, cross stitch, do diamond art or hone your own craft project, and most importantly have fun and make new friends.
This is a great opportunity to meet new people and learn a different skill or improve on a craft you already know in a friendly informal setting where you can buy a cuppa and a cake!
You might already be a keen crafter, or you might just fancy trying something new – all are welcome.
Mel wants this craft and chat group to get you smiling, chatting and creating!

From Mel:
Hi I’m Mel, originally from the North East, lived in Manchester, Todmorden and Newbury, but have been living on a narrowboat in Lancaster since 2023. I’ve been interested in crafting since I was 16 and helped out making props. I’ve made everything from tribal masks to a 1950s movie camera, and tried all kinds of crafts; as well as running various craft sessions previously.
My motto is that there are no mistakes in a craft session, everyone creates their own unique work. We’re aiming to make sure sessions are welcoming, fun and creative – it all adds to positive wellbeing! I look forward to meeting you

The space can get busy – you can use the ‘Popular Times’ feature on Google (scroll down and you will see this heading in the right hand column) which will give you an indication on business at different times. During the daytime it is often quieter but please do check Google Popular Times if you are concerned about how busy it will be.
The Cafe Bar is lit by halogen spotlights in the side with the bar and the further room is lit by led lighting.
