Chatty Crafters in the Snug

Chatty Crafters in the Snug is back at The Crown on Thursday 5 November, starting at 10:00. It's a social crafting session, the kind of thing that's as much about the chat as it is about whatever you've brought along to work on. If you've got a project that's been sitting half-finished on your coffee table, this is a good excuse to finally get it out and make some headway.

It's held in the snug, which is exactly what it sounds like: a cosy corner of the pub where you can settle in and get on with your making. There's no set agenda and no specific craft you're expected to be doing, so you can bring whatever you fancy—knitting, crochet, embroidery, or anything else that fits on a table. The whole point is to craft alongside other people, so if you usually work on your own, it's a chance to do it in company.

The Crown itself is an independent, family-run pub on All Saints Street in Hastings Old Town, close to the beach and the foot of the country park. It serves seasonal British food and beers from independent local breweries, and there's always a changing display of art, sculpture and photography on the walls. Chatty Crafters in the Snug is one of its regular nights, run as a weekly session every Thursday morning.

Because it's a weekly thing, you don't have to worry about getting it all done in one go—if you're only halfway through a row or a stitch by the time you're packing up, you can just bring it back next week. It's free to join, and it runs every Thursday at 10:00, with the next session on Thursday 5 November at The Crown, 64-66 All Saints St, Hastings, TN34 3BN.
