About this event
Make space for some ME TIME in your busy schedule. Bring along your creative crafting project that you want to work on during this social event for two hours of uninterrupted crafting! Meet other like minded crafters, connect with other makers, be inspired and swap ideas and tips about your craft, whilst enjoying your favourite coffee and cake.
There are no limits as to which craft you can bring along, as long as it can fit on your cafe table space. Crafters have brought along: knitting, crochet, embroidery, sewing, patchwork, needle felting, jewellery making, sketching in watercolours, painting in acrylics, cardboard & papier mache modelling, Lego building and even poetry writing.
If you want some help with your crafting skills and ideas, why not join our group and see if other crafters can help you out? You may be thinking of trying out a new hobby? Come along and learn from experienced crafters who are passionate about their craft.
All crafters must be 18 years plus. Please buy a Sunday Crafternoon ticket on Eventbrite (£3 plus 96p fee). An Eventbrite ticket guarantees your place at the event and confirms your RSVP. Please have your ticket ready to show at the event, either a paper print out or on your smart phone. Thank you.
We meet for the first three Sundays in the month so please check the schedule for your next Sunday Crafternoon event. You do not have to attend each event to be part of our crafting community.
Paid parking (RINGO app) on Sundays: St George's car park and Lea Road car park (both close to the venue). Most residential streets are free but please check each road's signage. The buses pass the venue on the High Street. Beckenham tram and rail station is a short walk to the venue.
The Rendezvous Caffe menu is amazing and you will be spoilt for choice! We ask each crafter buys at least one drink during the Crafternoon session. However, we are certain you will want more than a delicious coffee! Each crafter is responsible for settling their own tab with the cafe either during or at the end of the crafting session. The cafe also has a loyalty card when you get your tenth drink free.
Rendezvous Caffe is accessible by wheel chair. There is a ramp at street level to the inside of the cafe. The whole cafe is at ground level. The toilet is not a disabled loo but does have ample space to move around in.
Please buy a ticket online at Eventbrite before attending the event and have it ready to show the organiser on the day. Early Bird prices apply up until Friday 15th August 20.00hrs using code: CREATIVES50. This will buy you a ticket for £3.41 (incl EB Fess). After this time, you can still buy a Sunday Crafternoon ticket, but it will be at the full price of £3.96 (incl EB fees). A bought ticket is your RSVP to the event.
We look forward to meeting you for some more crafting together.
