Eastwood & District u3a Creative Craft Group is a group of friendly people, who get together and chat whilst completing crafts projects.

We meet at Rumbletums, Kimberley on the 2nd Wednesday afternoon each month from 1.00 pm – 2.30 pm.  The cost is £1.00 per person, which goes towards the room hire.  There is parking nearby.  

We welcome all abilities.   The members work on many different projects, allowing them to learn new skills by watching others.   If you want to learn there will be someone there to help you.

Currently members’ projects include embroidery, patchwork, hand sewn projects, crochet, knitting – plus learning to crochet and follow knitting patterns.

We welcome anyone who enjoys making things and having fun. For further details please check the newsletter
