ADULT WORKSHOPS AND TALKS

Knit and Chat

We are pleased to announce we play host to a Knit and Chat morning group.

This is a monthly meet up taking place on the last Wednesday of every month. 


The sessions are informal and a perfect opportunity to while away the time enjoying the views from the Boardwalk Cafe balcony.

It has proven to be a great way of meeting new people whilst knitting and to also enjoy a nice cup of coffee and piece of cake, or even have a spot of lunch afterwards.

The group meets at 10am and finish at 12 noon. There is no charge but it is advised that you bring your own materials along with you.
