She also did an innovative tree in aid of Taylor Made dreams using living lilies. Cost of wreaths £40 pp 12-2 £20 non refundable deposit.

It wouldn’t be called the crafters retreat without crafts, five years ago the KCM crafters were created who meet on the first Monday of the month in the hall. They all come from different crafting backgrounds and enjoy teaching each other different crafts and techniques. The group is open to all so please do ask if a craft intrigues you. Also feel free to bring any projects that you are struggling with, and they will be happy to see if they can help. The crafts on the day will vary in skill day and will be free but donations to the hall fund most appreciated.

Food will be provided by the King Charles cooks who are always a crowd pleaser and make delicious homemade food. The socials at King Charles wouldn’t be possible without them.
