Little Cherubs meets Monday mornings at York House, Stony Stratford. The group is run for parents by parents with all volunteers giving their time freely.

The Sip and Sew Society
Wednesday 7.30pm, top floor
Join us to create beautiful items to take home and discover new talents you didn't know you had. We all have projects we'd love to get around to but never have the time or space to start or finish them. We get together on a Wednesday evening to share skills and offer you all the space, time, equipment and some of the materials you need to get things made for yourself as well as the 'you time' you never get elsewhere. The Sip & Sew Society is a meeting place for friends old and new to have a cup of tea, some homemade cake, share skills and go home with something beautiful!
