Come and join one of our groups

There is something for everyone at St John's. We want to drive togetherness in the community, so there is plenty to interest everyone. Come and join us..

The Crochet and Knitting Group

This group was formed to teach the fine art of crochet and to enjoy a good friendly chat over tea and biscuits. All levels of skill are welcome, you may be a total novice, or perhaps you did learn to crochet once and have forgotten. Over the past year, many of our beginners have made beautiful blankets, scarves, hats, ‘string’ bags or just squares.

New members are always welcome – just come along with a ball of D.K wool and a 4mm (8) crochet hook and you will be amazed at what you can achieve. We meet on the last Thursday afternoon of the month from 2.00pm until 3.15pm in the Coffee Lounge in the Church Extension.

Holiday sessions are also run to teach children how to knit.
