If you’re looking for new people to chat to, make a date in your diary to visit Fordhall Farm for our Afternoon Amble.
This welcoming activity is designed to help anyone who would like to get out and connect with others in a friendly outdoor environment. We will start with a relaxing walk followed by tea and cake and an informal social gathering. This may include a community lead simple craft session (subject to availability of a willing and suitably skilled Ambler!).
Donations to cover refreshments welcome.
You can take part in just the walk or the social session, or stay for the whole session. The walk will start at 1pm (meet in the Community Garden), while the drinks and chat will begin at 2pm in the Greenwood Shelter. To find out more or book a space, please contact Nicola Syred on community@fordhallfarm.com or call for an informal chat on 01630 638696.
Just come dressed for the weather! The second social session will usually take place undercover in the outdoor Greenwood shelter, but indoor space is available for poor weather conditions.
For more details, including information on accessibility, call the office on 01630 638696.
Join us to learn the ancient art of macrame, this technique of creating a textile using knotting was originally crafted by sailors and is today mainly used for ornamental pieces. Our experienced session leader Elaine will guide you to create your very own Christmas Tree shaped decoration. You can complete this at home with your own embellishments if you wish!
We have 2 sessions, one at 10.00am and one at 1.00pm, both of which last approximately 2 hours. The morning session we are offering as parent/carer friendly, and we will provide an area with toys for your little ones to play with whilst you enjoy the session. The afternoon is aimed at adults only. Tickets are £10pp including refreshments and a sweet treat. Session will be held in the Foggage Room above the cafe which is accessible by lift.
