What's on in Thorpe in the Glebe

Nottinghamshire, England

Share:

Village halls, community centres, and that one pub everyone knows about — Thorpe in the Glebe keeps its social calendar fuller than you'd expect, and here's the lot. From craft workshops and farmers' markets to quiz nights and coffee mornings, talks and screenings to book clubs and bingo. The events that make a place feel like home rather than just somewhere you happen to live. We've scoured parish council sites, library listings, venue pages, and community noticeboards to find everything happening near you. The stuff the big sites miss because they're too busy listing festivals fifty miles away.

Free Lunchtime Talk - Dilapidation to Demonstration: A Framework Knitting Revival in Bonsall

Free Lunchtime Talk - Dilapidation to Demonstration: A Framework Knitting Revival in Bonsall

THIS EVENT HAS NOW SOLD OUT! Located at Yew Tree Farm in Bonsall, Derbyshire, is a Grade II listed framework knitters’ workshop built in 1737 and left largely untouched since one of the last local knitters passed away in 1911. Behind the characteristic wide knitters’ windows, traces of the trade are still preserved including spare frame parts and written notes on the walls. The building structure, however, has been at risk for many years, threatening the long-term future of the workshop. It is intended for this workshop to be brought back into use as a small learning hub, where monthly open days, history talks and framework knitting demonstrations can be hosted, with support from the Framework Knitters Museum in Ruddington. This illustrated talk, delivered by the current owners Adam Hill & Samantha Deakin Hill, outlines the history of the workshop as well as the current conservation project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Historic Houses Foundation. This talk is FREE but pre-booking is advised as numbers will be limited. Please book your free tickets at Buy Dilapidation to Demonstration: A Framework Knitting Revival in Bonsall Tickets online – Frameworks Knitters Museum
