Please
note:
Only glass or plastic large headed pins may be used for this
course for health and safety reasons.
Countess Wear Village Hall is in constant use by other
groups including Yoga, Pilates and Dog Training Classes.
Despite my efforts and those of the caretaker to ensure any
pins dropped on the floor are picked up, pins have been
found by others using the hall and as you will appreciate
present a significant health and safety risk. If you do not
have large headed pins you can buy a pack from me on the day
for £1. Click here

The shop opening hours are 9-30am – 5pm Monday to Saturday.
