Crochet Workshop

Derby Market Hall is hosting a Crochet Workshop on Sunday 29 November, with a second date on Sunday 6 December. Both sessions start at 10am, so you've got two Sundays to choose from if one doesn't fit your schedule.

It's aimed at beginners, so if you've never held a crochet hook in your life, you're exactly who this is for. The idea is to learn the basics and make something with your own hands, and they describe the setting as relaxing, creative and mindful, inside a friendly, welcoming space. It's less about rushing through a pattern and more about taking your time with it.

Each session runs for about three hours, including any intervals, and all the materials are supplied, so you only need to turn up. There's also a bit of flexibility to how you spend your morning: you can start any time between 10am and 1pm, and you don't have to stay for the full three hours if you're in a rush. The sessions are recommended for ages 13 and over, and accessible spaces are available for wheelchair users and other access requirements.

It costs £8.50 per session, and since all the materials are included, that's the only thing you'll need to bring. With two dates on the table, you can pick the one that works best for you.
