A warm welcome this winter at Our Crafty Place

As the days get colder, a warm welcome and a little company can make all the difference. Our Crafty Place CIC is opening its doors as a free Warm Space every Monday, from 10am to 2pm, throughout the winter.

Our Warm Space sessions are made possible thanks to funding from Derbyshire Voluntary Action.

Come along for a friendly chat, meet new people or simply sit back and enjoy being somewhere warm and welcoming. Whether you come on your own or with a friend, we’d love to welcome you.

We’ll be offering free refreshments, along with simple crafts and activities to enjoy at your own pace, including colouring, card making, knitting, crochet and puzzles.

These are self-led activities, so there won’t be any teaching or guided lessons. You’re welcome to enjoy an activity independently, bring your own project or simply relax and chat.

You don’t need to be a crafter to enjoy our Warm Space. You’re welcome to come just for the company.

Free to attend. Everyone welcome.

When can I come?

Mondays, 10am–2pm
From Monday 23 November 2026 until the end of February 2027.

We’ll be closed for Christmas from 19 December 2026 to 3 January 2027, so there will be no sessions on Monday 21 or Monday 28 December. We’ll welcome you back on Monday 4 January 2027.
