Darlington Pimm's and Needles

Join Our New Men’s Group!

After years of thinking about it, we’re thrilled to finally launch something just for the lads!
Thanks to Point North and the Enriching Later Lives Fund, we’re setting up a space where men can get together, try out new hobbies, share a laugh, and maybe even pick up a new skill or two to carry into later life.

This group is a blank canvas — and that’s where you come in. We’ll decide on the group’s name together (we’ve got a few ideas up our sleeve), and we’ll shape the sessions around what everyone’s interested in. We’ve got a long list of ideas — think woodburning (pyrography), ceramics, painting, willow weaving, and more — but it’s all about what you want to do.

To kick things off, our first session is one that always goes down a treat — a live cooking demo and tasting with The Little Indian Street Food. Gee and Rani will show us how to make a traditional curry from scratch, packed with flavour and easy to recreate at home. You’ll pick up some great cooking tips — and, of course, there’ll be a chance to taste the results!

The group is free for men aged 55+, if you're under 55 please email us for details

So come along, have a chat, try something new — and help us shape this brand-new group. We’d love to see you there!
