Sewing Workshop at Manor Farm Tea Shoppe

I’m really excited to be asked by Caroline and Andrew owners of the Manor Farm Tea Shoppe in Bleasby in Nottinghamshire to run a sewing workshop. We are hoping that it will be the first of a number that we have planned throughout the year.

Manor Farm Tea Shoppe www.manorfarmteashoppe.co.uk for those of you who may not know it yet, is set in the delightful Trent Valley in the rural village of Bleasby. The tea rooms are known locally for their quality home made cakes, soups, quiches and sandwiches and they take pride in using local fresh seasonal produce, much of it being grown at the farm, you can’t get fresher than that! To top it all the staff are a really friendly bunch too.

In addition to  the tearooms there is a newly built function room which can be booked for all manner of occasions and there are numerous lifestyle events being planned throughout the year and the first of the SEWING WORKSHOPS  has been planned for 28th February, details as follows:
