Come through for a cosy, feel-good afternoon of crochet, prosecco and connection. Whether you’re a total beginner or haven’t picked up a hook in years, this creative session is the perfect way to relax, learn something new, and meet other Black women in a welcoming space.

To celebrate Black History Month, we’ll have prosecco on deck and will be spinning classics and deep cuts while you learn the basics of crochet from a supportive instructor. You’ll leave with a new skill, good vibes, and something stitched by your own hands!

What's included:

• All crochet materials provided (hooks, yarn, beginner pattern)
• Prosecco, non alcoholic fizz and nibbles
• A curated playlist of laid-back R&B, neo-soul, and nostalgic bops
• A relaxed, community-centred environment
• Take home your tools and what you make!
