Tomorrow morning will be our last session before a prolonged Easter break (the meeting house are redecorating so the room is out of action for several weeks). We’ll be back on Wednesday 22nd April.

Do not fret though, tomorrow is our Easter special. We’ll be doing Easter crafts, pin the tail on the bunny and we’ll be visited by the Easter bunny himself!

See you all in the morning! 🐣🍫

Another pleasant one!

Remember it’s our Christmas party next week (17th). We are running 10-12 that day.

This is a ticketed event and we cannot accept walk-ins as we are full to bursting as we are. Please keep the number of adults attending to a minimum where possible.

See you all then! Ho ho ho!

Lovely morning, thanks to all that made it along.

Create and Paint dropped off our creations this morning. There is just one left to collect (little girl called Poppy).

We are nearly fully booked for our Christmas party. If you want to join and have registered interest please pay next week or message me if any problems so I can open those spaces up if you can’t make it.

Please can we ask, if any mess is made on the floor at snack time that you clean up after your child.

See you all next week ☺️

This week Create and Paint will be along to help us with some cute keep sake pieces we can use as Christmas gifts or just keep for ourselves!

Entry fee to play group is as normal and create and paint just charge for whatever you paint but no obligation there.

Prices are: £12 for a 10oz mug or bauble and £4 for decorations (just to give you a rough idea)

Create and paint kindly deduct their studio fee when they come to us ☺️

See you there! 🎨
