Being a member of one of our groups is a great way to make new friends and connections in your local community!
How it all works
- You can join us as a member by filling in the “Reserve my Place” link in the group location of your choice. There is a £13.50 upfront payment, then £13.50 per month for as long as you ‘d like to be a member. If you decide to leave simply give us 30 days notice and we will cancel all future payments and you will come to your last session for free (as you have already paid at the beginning)
- You can also join us as a guest to see what you think, or if you want to just come now and again! A “Guest Place” is £17.50 per session. If this is not available its because the group is full
- Both options include all of the materials you will need for the sessions along with Tea & Coffee
- The group is very friendly, you’re welcome to come with friends or on your own! We have flying solo tables for anyone alone, so you won’t be on your own for very long!
To join us as a membership, choose a location from our Groups page. If the group is full join the waiting list and we will contact you when a space becomes available
Pimm’s and Needles was set up as a way for woman to meet and socialise with other like minded woman and have a bit of time away from the pressures of daily life.
Sometimes having a cuppa and some cake and a good chat is the perfect tonic after a stressful day, we also have activities each month that will give you a taster of a potential hobby or give you a new skill!
We make the sessions easy, so after a busy day you can just turn up and we will look after you. All of the materials are provided, now and again you might just need to bring your gardening gloves or a box to take something tasty home!
We welcome those who are coming along with friends and family, we have lots of groups of work friends as well as mum’s and daughters. However we also have lots of people that have come along on their own not knowing anyone.
We try to take the stress out of this daunting prospect as much as we can, so at all of our groups every month we have a ‘flying solo’ table, and it’s for anyone who is on their own.
As a group we’re super welcoming so you can sit anywhere you like and join in, but if you’d like to sit with other woman who are on their own it is a lovely way to meet people.
We get lots of emails asking about the age range of woman that come to our meetings, and it really does span from 18-80, we welcome all woman from any age or background. Our groups have a fantastic atmosphere and we all try to be as supportive to each other as we can.
We also get asked whether you need to be good at crafting or dancing or baking… and the answer is no! We don’t do any judging at the end of the session, we are all about everyone enjoying the journey and the joy of doing something for fun, rather than the outcome.
