About this Event
Hang out with fellow adults who identify under the queer and trans (LGBTQIA+) umbrella, enjoy yummy snacks and a chilled craft session!
You can work on this month's project or bring your own. We'll explore a variety of arts and crafts such as sewing, soft toy making, crochet, knitting, ceramics, drawing, photography, embroidery, zine-making and much more! You'll be able to help us decide what to try next.
So if you want to get crafty, this is the place for you, whether you're a first time dabbler or an experienced maker.

Important physical access info:
Please note that this session is upstairs. We are in the process of installing a lift, however due to unforeseen delays this is now due to be completed November 2025, but could change. The event space is up a single flight of 14 steps then you go around the corner and there are two small steps. Once you’re upstairs there’s a loo. You shouldn’t need to come downstairs for anything until the end of the activity.
If you can't do the stairs and need to be on the ground floor, please let us know 10 days before the session and we will move the activity.
