Join these FREE & MONTHLY creative afternoons where you make, create, and chat.
Welland Makers will be hosted by the team of Orton Makers, which is a craft group that has been running for nearly four years over in Orton. (And was set up with Peterborough Presents originally) They are volunteers with busy lives, but they also have a passion for sharing easy, accessible, fun and different crafting.

They encourage people to try new things with no worries about failing, and in safe and enjoyable meetings.
These sessions are open to everyone, whether you knit, carve, glue, draw, or make.
You are welcome to bring along a personal crafting project. But, if you don’t have anything to bring but fancy having a go at making something, then there will be an activity for you to try. You can also come along if you just want to meet others for a chat.
No experience necessary, just an interest or curiosity in making / craft. We will provide the materials, tea, coffee, and biscuits.
