Welcome to Pimm's and Needles!

We're excited to welcome you as a member of our group and our ever-growing organisation! Pimm's and Needles is a community interest company and our aim is to deliver fun and friendly sessions at an affordable cost. We have an exciting plan of activities, the main aim is to enjoy the experience rather than focusing on the outcome, so don't worry if you haven't drawn anything since school or have never picked up a sewing needle, as long as you're having a good time that's all that matters!

Our activities range from fun Arts & Crafts sessions to Wellbeing and Lifestyle Activities. To see what is coming up please visit the website under your chosen group, the dates are all there too. We do endeavour to adhere to the activities as listed but they may change occasionally due to reasons beyond our control. We mostly work with small businesses so if they are poorly, they often can't send a replacement for themselves, in this instance we do just try and swap months around but it is rare we have to do this. You can see the activities for this group on our website here

When you join as a member if you can't make one of the dates for your group, you are welcome to transfer to another group in the same month, this is very easy to do via our website, or you can email us and we can arrange it for you.

If you're coming on your own don't worry - we have flying solo tables at all of our groups for anyone that's alone so you'll have plenty of people to talk to, there's usually at least 5-10 people from each group that come alone and over the years hundreds of friendships have grown as a result of chance meetings on the flying solo table!

As well as coming on your own its a lovely way to spend time with family, friends or work colleagues, many people use our groups as a regular appointment to catch up with people which can often be hard with our lives being so hectic, so feel free to help us spread the word and tell people about our lovely organisation.

Our membership is £15.00 per month (plus a 30p transaction fee), you pay a month upfront now and then will pay £15.00 (plus the 30p transaction fee) on the 1st of every month for the following month's session, so you're always paid up a month in advance. This membership fee includes materials and equipment and refreshments for all sessions. This is a rolling membership, when you would like to leave please email us 30 days before and we will cancel your future payments and make your space available to a new member. Your last session is then paid for by your upfront payment. You will receive a link to set up the monthly payment in your confirmation email after you have completed this initial transaction. Please do this ASAP as you're not a full member until you have set up the monthly payment plan.

If you would like to come ad hoc, you can buy guest passes at any of our groups that have spaces. This is £19.50 per visit but ideal if you want to dip in and out of coming along.

Please ensure you have read and are happy with our Terms & Conditions (a link will appear to this when you complete the registration form). Please don't click to not receive marketing from us, we don't actually send any marketing, so if you unsubscribe you won't get any reminder emails or any confirmations from us.

We look forward to meeting you at the group!
