Crafty Weekends

Crafty Weekends are running at Chester Library at Storyhouse from Saturday 7 November through to Sunday 27 December, with sessions every Saturday and Sunday from 12pm to 4pm. They're held in The Den, the children's library, and they're open to children of all ages. There's no booking needed, so families can just drop in whenever it suits them, though a parent has to stay with their children.

Each week brings a different theme, and the children make something to take home, to display in The Den, or both. All the materials are provided, so you don't need to bring anything along with you. Because the theme changes every week, it's the kind of thing you can come back to more than once without it feeling like the same session twice.

It's part of the wider programme at Storyhouse, which houses Chester's theatre, cinema and library all under one roof. The sessions run in The Den, the children's library, so it's a dedicated space for the kids to get stuck in. With no booking required, it's easy to fit into a weekend afternoon without much planning.

They run every Saturday and Sunday from 12pm to 4pm, starting 7 November and continuing until 27 December. It's free to attend, and you'll find them in The Den at Chester Library at Storyhouse, Hunter St, Chester, CH1 2AR.
