An opportunity to repair, mend or rework something to gift this Christmas. Our clothes hold stories, whether that be a stubborn stain, an unlucky tear, or a ladder in a favourite piece of knitwear. Come and join us for a morning of learning (or sharing!) skills in how to mend our treasured items, adding valuable time to their useful life and beautifully stitched additions. We will have designated mending stations; one for darning knitted garments (e.g; holes in jumpers or socks), one for mending rips or tears in woven garments (e.g; jeans or jackets) and one for creative visible mending through stitch and embroidery (e.g; small holes or stains on a bag or a top). All materials provided, but please bring your own if you’d like. Coffee and tea available. We will gather for these repair drop-ins to celebrate our unique Cornish spirit of resilience every other month. Understanding our ticket prices We offer a tiered system of pricing for some of our events, so that there should always be a ticket price to suit all purses. We do not want there to be any barriers to you attending our events if you would like to come along. This is why we offer some free, or lower cost, tickets for each of our events. Our Free or lower cost tickets are there for you to book if you don’t have much spare money at the moment. We will never ask questions about this – we just ask for an honesty system, where these tickets are booked if you can’t afford a full price ticket but would love to join us. Our Standard tickets are an affordable option, designed to help us cover the cost of putting on these events (opening the building, staffing, speakers, any teas, coffees or food and so forth) Our higher-price You Support Us option gives you the price to pay a little more for your ticket, as a way of supporting the work of the Gardeners’ House. It allows us to cover the cost of the event AND to have some left over which we can put towards our work as a charity. Please think about the level of ticket which applies to you when you’re booking.
