Winter Crafternoon Tea – Creative Craft Event

Join us for our Winter Crafternoon Tea at Market Deeping Community Centre, near Peterborough. Enjoy a full day of crafting, friendly tuition and a delicious afternoon tea with the Riverside Beads & Crafts team.

Our popular Crafternoon Tea events give you the chance to try several different crafts in one day. Therefore, they are perfect if you love being creative but also enjoy discovering something new.

Throughout the day, you will move between our activity tables and complete a selection of seasonal projects. Each table has its own tutor, who will demonstrate the techniques and guide you through your project step by step.

You don’t need experience in any of the crafts. In fact, part of the fun is having the opportunity to try techniques you may never have considered before. Meanwhile, experienced crafters can enjoy experimenting with different materials and creating alongside other craft lovers.

We have four main activity tables, plus a bonus festive jewellery project. As a result, you will go home with a wonderful collection of handmade creations from your day.
