Weekly Wednesday drop-in session run by Communities 1st with hands-on arts and crafts, culture and heritage activities and complimentary refreshments.
Communities 1st are running their Creative Café at Trestle Arts Base every Wednesday afternoon from 13:00 to 15:00. It's a drop-in session, so you can just turn up when you fancy it rather than committing to a fixed date. The run started on 21 October and keeps going through the autumn: 28 October, then 4, 11, 18 and 25 November. If you're around on a Wednesday, it's an easy one to slot into the middle of the day.
They describe it as a welcoming and inclusive space celebrating arts and crafts, culture and heritage. The 'arts and crafts' part is the hands-on making side of things, and alongside that they run activities that look at local culture and heritage. There's also information on training and volunteering opportunities on hand, and it's a chance to meet neighbours you might not otherwise cross paths with. Complimentary refreshments are served, and the sessions are held indoors.
The venue is Trestle Arts Base on Russet Drive in Highfield Park, a converted chapel and performing arts centre. It's home to a theatre, a dance studio, a meeting room and a café gallery, and it hosts professional shows, classes, workshops and community events throughout the year. The Creative Café is one of those community-focused slots.
