Community Christmas crafts sessions launch in Whaley Bridge for local children
Whaley Bridge families are being invited to take part in a series of creative Christmas craft sessions designed for children of all ages and abilities.
The weekly group, led by local childcare provider Mollie Thorpe, offers a relaxed, friendly environment where children can take part in a variety of festive crafts and enjoy festive fun.
The first Christmas-themed craft event will take place on Saturday, 6th December between 2-5pm, offering seasonal activities such as Christmas card making, tree decoration art, placemat crafting and decorating table covers. All craft supplies are provided and crafts can be taken home at the end of the day.
The sessions take place at the Whaley Bridge Transshipment Warehouse (downstairs in the wharf) and cost just £3.50 per child - cash payment required. Parents, carers and siblings are all welcome. The second Christmas craft event will be held on Saturday, 20th of December and regular craft sessions will resume every 2 weeks from the 10th of January 2025.
Mollie, who holds an Enhanced DBS and runs Mollies Childcare in Whaley Bridge, says the goal is to create “a safe, inclusive and creative space - especially for families who may struggle to find suitable activities for children with additional needs.”
The group aims to support:
- Children of all ages and abilities
- Parents, grandparents, and caregivers
- Families with additional needs or SEN requirements
- Anyone wanting to meet others and join a welcoming community space
Drinks and snacks are available on-site, and new activities will run each week to keep sessions exciting and engaging.
