Whether you're stitching your first seam, finishing a long-forgotten knitting project, learning to crochet, or simply looking for good company while you create, The Sewcial Group offers a warm and welcoming space where people of all ages and abilities can come together.

Bring your sewing, knitting, crochet, embroidery or any other portable craft project, settle in with a cup of tea and enjoy a couple of creative hours in the peaceful surroundings of the Monastery.
Whether you come to learn something new, finish a project you've been meaning to complete, or simply spend time with like-minded people away from the busyness of everyday life, you'll always find a friendly welcome.
