Women’s Workshop Working Weekend

This will be the last working weekend at the Women’s Workshop before the winter sets in, so we will be making sure we have finished all the insulating, mending broken bits of the ramp, re-coating the shed, and finishing off the wet room tiling. There are lots of opportunities to develop manual skills, share food and help plan future programme ideas for the Workshop.
