Hi everyone,

We hope you're all well and happy. First of all, we wanted to apologise for the delay in keeping you updated via our mailing list. It's been a very busy few months; Nick has been working nights, and so Michelle has had little time to plan any new workshops. However, after our family holiday it's back to normal again now and we have taken on extra staff, so stay tuned for more exciting events. Say hi to our newest team member John when you meet him!

Workshops & #SouthNorwoodKnits

Michelle has a few ideas up her sleve for future craft workshops over the summer for both adults and children, so we will update you as soon as they are finalised.
