What, When & Where
Monthly Demonstrations
Everyone is welcome to join us at our monthly demonstrations.
These are held at Bridlington North Library, YO16 6YD, on the 1st Friday of each month (except August) from 7pm to 9pm. Refreshments and parking (incl. disabled parking and access) are available.
As guests/ non-members you can come to two taster nights for £5 per night (refundable on full membership). These are sometimes followed by a themed Weekend Workshop (fees apply).
Weekend Workshops
The Weekend Workshops are on a Saturday, and are led by the person who did the Friday night demonstration. They are normally a full day and we recommend you bring your lunch and snacks. They are held in either the Sewerby, Priory, or Emmanuel Church Rooms.
These are for members only. Booking is required and fees apply (usually at a great rate!).
