Xmas Bauble Craft Night

Gem's Cats are hosting a Xmas Bauble Craft Night at The Gatehouse Inn on Thursday 17 December, from 7pm to 10pm. It's run as part of the Lincoln Cat Lovers Community, and the whole thing is aimed squarely at cat lovers and bringing them together for a few hours of making. The format is simple: you decorate large, clear plastic baubles with craft supplies, filling them with fake snow, mini cat ornaments, pom-poms or your own cat's favourite treats, then finishing the outside with stickers, glitter pens, paint pens and ribbons. If you're new to the group, you'll be handed a free cat-ears headband to wear for the night.

Everyone takes home a small cat treat or toy, and every ticket enters you into a free raffle for a cat bed. Alongside the bauble making, there's a 2D wooden cat ornament competition running as a fundraiser, with a Cat Craft Hamper for the winner. You can buy drinks at the inn, and takeaway or shop-bought food is welcome if you want to eat while you work.

Tickets are £6 per person, which includes one bauble to decorate, and £1 for each additional bauble if you're planning on making more than one. The night runs from 7pm to 10pm at The Gatehouse Inn, 178 Newark Road, Bracebridge, LN5 8QJ.
