See all- Halloween arts & crafts - family-friendlyKingston Quaker Centre, Kingston Upon Thames
Come join us at Kingston Quaker Centre for a spooky afternoon of Halloween-themed arts and crafts! This is a family-friendly LGBTQ+ event but all children under 18 must be supervised by an adult at all times.
We'll be providing some equipment but you're very welcome to bring your own as well. We'd recommend bringing empty yogurt pots (to mix paint), pipe cleaners, poster paints, PVA glue, newspapers, cardboard boxes, etc. We will provide some direction during the session but we always encourage you to follow your own creative path too!
Be sure to dress appropriately for an arts & crafts session - there will likely be paint / glue and other sticky materials around. Use your own guidance about what clothes to wear, but of course feel free to reach out to Kirstie if you have any questions at all.
Kindly note that there is limited capacity available - if you're unable to make the session, please let us know so we can reallocate your place to someone else.
Indulge your inner child (or your actual children) and have fun crafting with us!

We're delighted to be back at the Old London Road (OLR) Cafe in Kingston for an evening of games! All LGBTQ+ people are welcome, and we're open to all levels of gaming experience - whether you're a full-fledged geek or completely new to the world of board games.
Meet fellow LGBTQ+ gamers, enjoy some coffee & snacks, and dive into a variety of board games. The OLR Cafe has plenty of board games on offer, but you're also welcome to bring anything you're keen to play too - please ensure that you're able to explain the rules to others.
When you arrive, look out for Kirstie & Katy who will be hosting the evening and will be happy to introduce new people to the rest of the group.
You're very welcome to turn up at any point between 6-8pm, but please drop us a message if you won't be joining us at the start so we can allocate games to everyone.
Come alone or bring some friends along - we're a friendly bunch!
