Learn embroidery in a fun and relaxed environment with the BBC’s Sara Dennis at Lancaster Castle’s famous Witches Tower.

Knitting, crochet, yarnbombing and contemporary needlecraft. Not a workshop as such but a ‘learning’ social with Knittaz with Attitude.

Join Quirky Workshops for a full day of felting, after which you’ll be able to take your new adorable Herdwick doorstop home.

Try your hand at pottery at Earth Pig Studio in Buxton’s Green Man Gallery; a longstanding community arts hub, shop and gallery.

Consolidate your sewing skills this autumn, with a pattern matching workshop from the Stitch Society at the textiles heritage site Salts Mill.
