Maison Dieu Heritage Embroidery Group

over 18

Sun, 25th Oct 2026 @ 13:30 - 15:30

Tickets from £5.50

Join our informal heritage embroidery group to make friends and learn some exciting new 'old' skills inspired by historic needlework and the Maison Dieu. These sessions are run by volunteers from the Maison Dieu ambassadors and the Friends of the Maison Dieu, who class themselves as enthusiasts not experts they are keen to share their knowledge and experience. They welcome input and suggestions.

Participants are always welcome to bring stitching work of any kind they have already started no matter the style, or spend time devising a new project.

Most ladies can stitch maybe only to pop a button back on, but historically, it is the oldest craft – laborious stitching animal pelts together and making clothing.

Heritage stitching on our level nowdays often means a quick cross stitch birthday card, or that runaway button but there is SO MUCH MORE.

This month we will be working towards a small but exclusive display of local embroidery/embroiderers work.

Come and join us, love to meet you

Refreshments included. Book online or buy a ticket on the day, £5.00.

All funds go towards the Friends of the Maison Dieu.
