We are pleased to offer these free drop-in sessions. If you are bereaved (or supporting someone who is), and you would like to connect with others and have a go at making things in a relaxed and informal atmosphere, you are welcome to join us. All materials will be provided. No sewing or artistic skills are needed. These are an opportunity to pop in and meet the Remembering Together team and have a taster of our workshops, or to meet up with people regularly. The environment is always gentle, supportive, and up-lifting. We will listen but not intrude.
2026 We hold regular Create and Chat drop-ins at the following venues:
Black Swan Community Pub, North Walsham – Third Monday of the month 7-9pm. This is a relaxed and friendly small group. We bring a main activity and other things to have a go at.
No need to book – but if you would like to let us know you will be popping in then you can drop us a message on our Contact Us page.
