Our full day workshops/stitching days are held in Alstonefield Village Hall,  DE6 2FR, a lovely bright space with great facilities, fully accessible, and including Wi-Fi.  The workshops run from 10.00 am. to 4.00 pm. with 45 minutes for lunch, which can be taken outside if the weather is good!  Arrival is from 9.30 and you may start your embroidery immediately if you wish. Tea and coffee with home-made biscuits & cakes are included, including gluten and/or dairy free options on request. We ask that you bring your own packed lunch.

The 2025 price for the workshop day is £35 (not including materials)

Workshops are run with tables in a 'U' shape with both live demonstration by Cathy and video demonstration on the big screen. 

Workshops are normally limited to 12 or 13 persons.  

Open workshops (or stitching days) provide an opportunity for you to observe other techniques and you will be welcome to participate and learn from demonstrations not necessarily related to your particular embroidery project.  


If you are finishing off an embroidery project and  prefer to bring your own device with you to watch a particular video tutorial, you are welcome to do so but please bring a headset/earpieces. 
​  
​
Most equipment is provided for your use, but you are encouraged to bring your own embroidery hoop. If you are attending a workshop and purchasing a new kit,  the price of the kit includes a link to a step-by-step YouTube video tutorial for your personal use.

If you would like to stay in the area, there are a number of accommodation options available. Click here to view the Accommodation List.


Workshop Terms and conditions for 2025 may be viewed here and will be updated at the end of 2025 to accommodate planned changes in 2026.
