Grab a hook, claim a spot and settle into a daytime crochet party on the gallery steps – music turned up, DJs spinning, yarn everywhere.

Stitch side-by-side with other makers and enjoy the rhythm of the room. All ages and abilities are welcome. Seasoned crocheters, curious beginners, and everyone in between – the team will be on hand to help you get started. Hooks and yarn are provided or continue that project you’re already deep into.

DJ performances by Elsie at 12pm midday and Holy Trinity at 2pm.

Also take part in a shared making activity inspired by Minute Lines by Jess Blaustein, on display in the Distraction exhibition. This participatory artwork invites visitors to add a simple chain stitch to a large-scale collective crochet artwork across the gallery walls – redefining how we navigate time through making and doing.
