Coming up in December

Sparkling Spitalfields, Christmas crafts and a warming cuppa – coming up in December

Our December walk 

Saturday 9th December, 11.00am

Join us for a a bracing walk and exploration of Spitalfields 

Meet at: Aldgate East Tube Station

Following the sparkling talk by Tessa in November, we have an opportunity to check out what we know, and can follow-up, about the local  Huguenots.  Bring along any information, maps, guides or anecdotes you may have and curate a history trail around Spitalfields. Of course, there will be shops and stalls brimming with tempting crafts and gifts, and coffee shops to enjoy.

Our December meeting: Christmas crafts

Thursday 14th December

7 for 7.30pm start 

Our December Monthly meeting will be on the evening of the second Thursday of the month on 14th December - the same day as the Tower Hamlets Community Tea Dance if anyone is going there too. This is our chance to create some seasonal crafts and impress friends, family and neighbours, if you want to! Sally, Bridget and Lydia will host some craft tables, and if you have some ideas/tips, do  share them on the night.

We will be at our usual venue: St Margaret's House, 15 Old Ford Rd, London E2 9PL. If the gate is locked when you arrive at St Margaret’s House, there will be a call bell on the right hand side at the back of the gate.
