Crafternoon Tea

Crafternoon Tea is running at Cafe Elm on Saturday 31 October, with sessions on 7 November and 14 November as well. It's a baking and decorating workshop for children, and it's aimed at the 4 to 12 age group, so it's one that works for the younger ones and the primary-school crowd alike. Each session runs from 1:30pm to 2:30pm, an hour that takes them through the baking and the decorating without dragging on too long for the smaller kids.

The whole thing is set up for children who love to bake, decorate and get imaginative, and the cafe describes it as a fun, friendly setting. The baking and decorating are the main things on the table, and the focus is on letting them get stuck in and be creative with what they're making. It's a hands-on afternoon, so it's more about the doing than just watching.

Beyond those three Saturdays, it runs all day during the school holidays, which makes it a bit easier to fit around the half-term break if you're looking for something to keep them occupied while the schools are out. Booking is required, so you'll need to get your spot sorted in advance rather than just turning up on the day. It's £15 per child as an introductory offer, and the sessions are at Cafe Elm, 2 Elmbridge Road, Gloucester, GL2 0NZ.
