Castlethorpe Craft Club
Castlethorpe is a small village situated just a few miles
north of Milton Keynes.
- The Craft Club which began in 1998, with just a few friends meeting informally for coffee and chat, celebrated its 10th anniversary in January. Originally just for cross stitching, as members interests diversified into other crafts we decided to become a Craft club. The club is open to anyone interested in crafts.

- On the last Saturday in June we hold our annual Cross Stitch Day at the Village Hall.
- Now a popular event in the Crafter's calendar it is
attended by many crafters from the surrounding area and
beyond. Our first attempt at putting on such a day was
attended by just 6 but as word spread of a good day out
our numbers have gone from strength to strength.
- The regular craft supplier for the day is Gaynor,
(Gavand Craft Supplies Dunstable ) who carries a wide and varied selection of cross stitch,
lace making, card & paper craft items as well as other exciting craft goodies.
Gaynor always has time
to demonstrate her new items in stock to tempt us.
