Step into a relaxed and welcoming creative space where you can enjoy a free cuppa, try out a variety of craft activities and take a calming break from your studies.

Whether you’re looking to unwind, get creative, or connect with others, you’ll find a friendly, wellbeing‑focused atmosphere waiting for you. All materials are provided, so you can simply drop in and get started.

During the session, you’ll be able to explore a range of simple, cosy craft activities, from wool‑based projects to paper crafts and other hands‑on makes. You can bring your own creative project if you prefer, or pick up one of the smaller activities designed to start and stop easily whenever you choose. Sometimes there’ll be a led craft activity; other times, you’ll have several mini‑projects to dip in and out of.

Crafting is well known for helping reduce stress, improve focus, and boost your overall wellbeing. With free tea, coffee, and biscuits available, you’ll have everything you need to relax and enjoy the hour.

You can stay for the full session or simply pop in whenever it suits you.
