Crafternoon Tea - Punch Needle | Sunday 6th September - 2pm till 4.30pm

The Ladies' Embroidery Society – Our newest themed Crafternoon Tea, inspired by the world of Bridgerton.

Accept your invitation to The Ladies' Embroidery Society, where creativity, conversation and afternoon tea come together in true Regency style.

Step into an afternoon of elegance, indulgence and creativity at our most lavish Crafternoon Tea yet.

Inspired by the timeless beauty and charm of the Regency era, this one-of-a-kind experience invites you to escape the everyday and immerse yourself in an afternoon of beautifully dressed tables, vintage china, graceful details and creative delight.

You'll then become a member of The Ladies' Embroidery Society, where our talented tutor will guide you through the wonderfully relaxing art of punch needle embroidery - often described as painting with yarn.

Working with soft natural cotton yarns on woven cotton foundation fabric, you'll create your own elegant keepsake to treasure.

Each design celebrates a different element of the elegance and charm of the Regency era.
