Public viewing of the festive knitted and crocheted postbox toppers by the volunteer project St Albans Postboxes before their Christmas display.
St Albans Postboxes are holding a public viewing of this year's festive toppers at The Pioneer Club on Thursday 26 November, from 10:30 to 14:30. It's a first look at the knitted and crocheted covers before they go out across the city for Christmas.
For those who aren't familiar, St Albans Postboxes is a volunteer-led project that brings these handmade toppers to the city's postboxes, where they're displayed around the streets throughout the season. The whole campaign builds up to a public Christmas launch at the Clock Tower, so this viewing is your chance to see them all together before they're spread out across town. The project also raises money for local charities, with The Pioneer Club and Herts Inclusive Theatre among the beneficiaries.
The viewing takes place at The Pioneer Club on Heathlands Drive, an independent youth and music venue that combines live events and workshops with an indoor skatepark and a bar stocking Signature Brew beers and Henry Westons Vintage cider. It's a bit of a departure from the usual festive pop-up, so if you're heading over, keep in mind it's a working youth space as much as a venue.
