Hi I live in Derbyshire (Mansfield area) and am looking to join a group that meets up regularly to chat and craft. I’m particularly interested in decoupage and knitting so looking for groups around these. Thanks for your help. Jo
Hi Jo, I live in Alfreton so I will keep my ear to the ground for groups which might interest you. I’m sure there is a crochet group at Mansfield Woodhouse, I have seen it advertised at the Turner Hall when I go there for monthly craft market. I will ask around at the next market, but it’s not until the 24th Feb, someone there may know about knitting groups.
Thank you. I would be grateful if you could let me know. What is the craft market you do? That might also be of interest. Thanks again. Jo
Hello Jo, sorry I didn’t answer before, I didn’t realise that you had replied. have come back to update because I’ve been to the market today. I couldn’t find out anything about a knitting group but there was a notIce up about a crochet group meets at the Turner Hall at Mansfield Woodhouse on Tuesday evenings, contact is Mandy 07808 758276, if you are not into crochet then it still might be worth a call to her to see if she knows of any knitters!
The market I do is Mansfield Woodhouse community market, in the Turner hall. It is last Saturday of every month 10-1. It’s never very busy but stalls are only £5 and I really enjoy it. They have a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/themansfieldwoodhousecommunitymarket/
Some stall holders today were talking about a craft fair in Mansfield market square in September, seemed to think it was good.
