Bespoke Craft Groups – Tailored to You!

Craft Enjoyment

We all deserve the same things in life … disabled or non disabled.

Sadly those who are disabled by social barriers don’t always get the same choices. Here at Our Crafty Place we want to remove barriers and provide the good stuff in life. For us that’s a warm welcome, laughter, a sense of belonging and crafting for all.

We can’t promise to have all the answers but we will certainly try our hardest to help everyone have a go at the craft of their choice.

Organisations

Do you have a group of children or young adults who are neuro-diverse or have learning difficulties and want to try something new?

Are you a Social Prescriber and are looking for something bespoke for certain individuals?

Are you a manager of a care or residential home looking to add engaging and enjoyable activities to your residents’ daily routine?

Get in touch today to see how we can help …

Looking for a unique, creative experience for your group?

Whether it’s a hen, stag, sten or fox party come and create something special for your friend, the special couple, or even make handmade items for the wedding day.

Need a team-building activity? Get hands-on with a session where everyone creates something that comes together as a collaborative artwork – perfect for the office wall!

If you’re part of a close-knit or marginalised group why not craft together in a comfortable, private setting while you chat and relax? Simply choose the craft, and we’ll take care of the rest.

For parents, tutors, organisers of childrens groups … are you looking for something fresh and engaging, especially during the summer holidays? Get in touch and we’ll reach out to other parents, tutors etc. to develop and run some age appropriate holiday groups. 

Planning a seasonal party with a quirky twist? Hold your celebration with us! We’ll ensure it’s a memorable experience that brings creativity and fun into the mix.

Our venue is flexible with dates and times, but to respect our residential setting, we don’t operate past 10pm on any evening or on Sundays.

Check out a few ideas below — so many crafts to explore! Let us know your ideas and together we’ll create your perfect event.
