Perhaps you’ve always wanted to learn how to knit and crochet?
Perhaps you can already knit like an electric Nan and you’re looking for a friendly, social space to work on your project?

The last Thursday of the month is crochet club - no booking, no fees, no sign up, just turn up and get involved, learn from others and help others learn

7pm - 9pm 🧶

Who did it better?
or Bethan!

Thanks to Burning Sky Brewery for sending out a replacement pumpclip after ours got lost - our resident pumpclip artist did a belting job in the meantime but the original thing was too good not to share

Lovely big pokey porter on the pumps NOW

Lovely atmosphere lingering in the bar today from Jo’s Prevent Breast Cancer fundraiser last night

We’ll be leaving these pots (that go so well with the bars current flowers) out all today as well so please, if you can, chuck a bit of change in ‘em!

PSA 📣📣📣

This Saturday we’re doing a little bit of fundraising at Reasons for the brilliant Jo ❤️

One of our lovely regulars, Jo has recently had the all clear from breast cancer and has just completed an amazing Race Across Europe fundraiser for Prevent Breast Cancer

They’ve already done a pretty incredible job, so we thought we’d help them give the fundraising total one last push 🍻

This week we'll have a donation pot and QR code in the bar for anyone who fancies chucking a few quid in, and on Saturday we’ll also be donating the takings from our house b**r Local B**r from Blackjack Brew Co..

So basically, come down, have a pint, raise some money for a brilliant cause and help us celebrate Jo at the same time.

See you at the bar x
