Make a note and come along to this on 1st December ✨

We are really excited about our first Quarry Christmas fair!

Both the cabins will house local creatives work for sale, there will be a tombola, lucky dip and Christmas crafts in outside gazebos (weather permitting)

Some of the artists will be in their studios and the stone and canvas cafe is open with live music from Nogin (folk with attitude) and Johnny Edgar.

Help us by telling everyone you know and let us know if you’re coming.

A date for your November calendar...

Craft & Chat is coming back!

Sometimes it's nice to make things in the company of other people. No big plans, no pressure to be productive, just a cuppa, a bit of creativity and some friendly company.

From Thursday 19th November, our monthly Craft & Chat drop-ins are returning to our cosy cabin at the Old Town Quarry in Weston-Super-Mare!

Bring along whatever creative project you're working on: crochet, junk journalling, drawing, water colours, mending, collage, or that thing you've been meaning to finish for the last six months. All crafts and creative abilities are welcome, and adults of all ages are invited.

Alongside the making and chatting, there'll be optional creative prompts inspired by the things that make life meaningful: the moments we want to savour, the stories we carry, the things we value and the small ways we can live more intentionally.

Hosted by This Mortal Life, we're interested in what it means to live well, knowing that our time here is finite. The creative prompts explore this through the things we make, the stories we tell and the lives we're building.

You can try a prompt, follow your own creative path, or simply enjoy a cuppa and a chat. It's a relaxed space to make things, connect with others and perhaps discover a new perspective along the way.

✨ Join us!

📅 Starting Thursday 19th November, then every third Thursday of the month
🕕 6–8pm
📍 The Artspace cabin, Old Town Quarry, WSM
🧶 For adults (18+) and all creative abilities
☕ No need to register, just drop in!

Whether you're a seasoned maker, a curious beginner or simply looking for a welcoming space to spend a couple of hours in good company, we'd love to see you.

Come for the crafting, stay for the chat ☕🌿

Thanks to the Trust for funding this partnership aiming to increase death literacy through creativity in our community over the next 12 months 🖤

A Samhain Gathering with This Mortal Life

Samhain (pronounced Sow-ein) has long been a time of magic, mystery and celebration. In Celtic tradition, this turning point of the year marked not just darkness, but rest, renewal, and the promise of new beginnings. It’s a moment when the veil between our world and the spirit world feels especially thin, offering us a chance to remember, honour and celebrate those who came before us.

Across the world, cultures embrace this season as one of connection and joy in remembrance, and we’ll be doing the same! Join us for an evening filled with warmth, connection and community. We’ll share a cosy bring-and-share meal, play some light-hearted games, and enjoy good conversation. Together, we’ll build a creative Remembrance Altar to showcase our photos, mementos and tokens to honour our loved ones, and we’ll light candles in their memory.

There will also be chances to dip into reflective activities, explore themed discussion prompts, and share creativity in our open-mic style circle, whether that’s a poem, reading, song, or story. The night will be a collaboration of connection and creativity, and you’re warmly invited.

This is a night for both laughter and tenderness, for memory and celebration. Come as you are, bring a dish to share, and let’s gather in the spirit of Samhain.

📅 Sunday, 1st November
⏰ 5.30pm doors open, 6pm start
💰 £5 + a dish to share - Register ASAP as spaces are limited. Register at This Mortal Life's website - link on their pages!
