Craft and Hobby Fair

St Andrew's Church is hosting a Craft and Hobby Fair at Eastern Green Village Hall on Saturday 7 November, from 1:30pm to 4:30pm. It's a small, community-run afternoon that fills the hall with stalls of home-made goods, so it's as much about browsing as it is about buying.

The craft side covers a fair bit of ground: wood crafts, glassware, and knitted and crocheted items. There's also a second-hand book and jigsaw section, which is a good place to dig through if you're looking for something specific or just fancy a bit of a rummage. And because it's early November, there'll be Christmas items on the tables, so it's a decent spot to get a head start on the presents without the rush of the high street.

Beyond the stalls, there's a refreshment table with home-made cakes, so you can stop for a cuppa and a slice of cake between the browsing. It's the kind of afternoon that works just as well if you're there for the crafts as if you're just popping in for a chat.

St Andrew's describes itself as a friendly, welcoming and inclusive church on the edge of Coventry, running a mix of traditional communion and more creative all-age services alongside a number of community groups. This fair is one of those community-facing events they put on for the local area. It runs from 1:30pm to 4:30pm at Eastern Green Village Hall, Church Lane, Eastern Green, Coventry, CV5 7BX, and entry is free.
