Refresh Friday Craft Club is on the move.
Following the launch of Refresh Friday Craft Club in April our numbers have steadily increased to the point where we have outgrown the available space in the Refresh shop! To give ourselves more room we have moved the Craft Club into the café area within All Saints Parish Church, Church Street, High Wycombe, HP11 2DE, just one minute’s walk from the Refresh shop on Fridays between 2pm - 4pm.
We got nominated!
