The popular Christmas Wreath Making Workshop is arranged for Sat 29th November. Tickets now available at £45 each - which includes everything you need plus refreshments and a soup & sandwiches lunch and a glass of wine or a soft drink. Tuition from Eleanor Griffiths (NAFAS). An enjoyable and productive time is assured.

It's necessary to change the date of the September lunch. Now 22 Sept. Apologies for any inconvenience, but it has been caused by staff availability difficulties. Everyone in the kitchen must be trained in food handling & hygiene requirements and be able to cater for large numbers. Not everyone can do that.

The August lunch and those from October onwards are unaffected - only September has changed.

We hope you can come and enjoy good food & fellowship. You don't have to book a place (except for the Christmas lunch) so just come - we'll be pleased to welcome you. For a vegetarian option or special dietary needs then just talk to us in advance, or on the day before the meal is served. Thank you.

We welcome any voluntary cash donations towards costs. Often, there's a contactless card machine as well.
