I called in to Stoke Minster – a Place of Welcome – across Thursday lunchtime. I wanted to catch up with a little group who’ve been meeting together as new friends to get crafting.

They’re making a woolly postbox ‘topper’ to celebrate Mothering Sunday in mid March.

Heather, and members of the group, told me what they’ve been up to.

PODCAST: 5 minutes

The Minster is open every Thursday lunchtime, 12 noon to 2pm, and you’re very welcome to call in for a brew, to take a look around, to chat, or even to sit alone and ponder – crafting’s not obligatory!
