Pop into the studios and grab a coffee and a book. The Janet Corcaran Memorial Library is a cute, relaxing space where you can enjoy over 3000 books. 📚

It’s also a great co-working space if you fancy a change of scenery. 😊

Open Tuesdays and Thursdays 10am-5pm.

Hello to all those that supported me in the last ten years, I hope you were happy with your events. Due to circumstances and the aftermath of Covid it is time for Avril’s Platters to close. So I finish how I started with a smile and a prayer x

A quick update... it has now been nearly a year since I have been able to use the kitchen, or even leave the house. I don't know when (or if) this will change in the future. So I thought I would say a quick hello to everyone and I promise I will post on here as soon as I know anything.
Take Care and Be Safe Denise xx

Macmillan... the World's BIGGEST Coffee Morning...

Hi Everyone...please come along join in the fun and help us raise as much as we can... St Chad's Church Hall, Chadwell Heath... Thursday 31st August... 10.30am to 2pm.
We had such a great response last year, that this year we are taking advantage of the holiday, using the big hall and the garden if the sun shines... lots of space for making friends over a pot of tea ;)
So we thought we would add some extras and make a day of it...or why not pop in check out the new menu's for the Coffee Shop and take home a cake or two... every penny helps.
Our crafty ladies will do some demo's and everyone can have a go (including the children) There will be a Raffle... Adopt-a-Bear... Bric-a-Brac... Craft Stall... lots of lovely food and of course... Cake !!!!
Lets Change Lives with every Slice xx
