Daventry Town Crafters

The team have been running craft meet ups at the museum since early 2022. In Christmas 2022 we made a 15 ft high crochet tree for the town centre (you can still see the video below) and for Christmas 2023 we had Random Acts of Crafty Kindness when crafters made decorations for trees that appeared in the town's shops and were given away before the shops closed for Christmas! See below for more details.

The Coronation Post-Box topper for the King's Coronation in 2023 was a wonderful team effort from this group of super friendly crafters (see the pics below). Why not join us, everyone is welcome! Bring your own projects or if you would like some yarn and needles we're happy to provide them. We can also teach knitting and crochet if you would like to learn!

In 2024, we knitted handmade wooly hats (more than 500 of them!) to decorate a Christmas tree in the town centre. The hats were strung together like tinsel and used to bring festive cheer to Daventry during December. Leftover hats were used as bunting around the town, before being donated in the new year to worthwhile local causes.

The Coronation Post-Box topper was up in Market Square and it looked just brilliant, we had so many positive comments and thank-you's!!

A huge thank you to Gail, Vini, Julie, Kate and Ellie for their contributions.

The knitting and crochet group is made up of lovely lovely people who all have a crafty streak and want to share this with others.

Do pop along and see what we're about and if you would like to learn, we're always happy to teach you.
