What's on

Make & Mingle is a welcoming wellbeing group open to people of all ages.

​

It's a relaxed space where you can take a little time for yourself, enjoy some simple crafts, have a brew, and connect with others in the community. Whether you're looking for company, a friendly chat, or just somewhere calm to spend a couple of hours, you'll find a warm welcome here.

​

There’s no pressure and no expectations. You can get involved in activities, join conversations, or simply sit and enjoy the atmosphere. Come along and take part as little or as much as you'd like.

 

Sometimes the smallest conversations and connections can make the biggest difference.

The Community Garden is a space for growing more than just plants.

​

It's a place to get outside, meet people, learn new skills, and take pride in the place we call home. Whether you're planting, digging, watering, or simply enjoying the fresh air, there's always something to get involved in.

​

Need tools for your own garden? Our Tool Shed lets local residents borrow gardening equipment for a small refundable deposit, making it easier for everyone to keep their outdoor spaces looking their best.

No experience needed. Just come along, get involved.

A place to play, create, learn, and have fun.

A creative partnership between HF Works, Turnpike Gallery

​

Together, we're opening the door to imagination, creativity, and possibility across the Higher Folds community. Through a series of fun, hands-on workshops, participants are encouraged to explore ideas, experiment with different materials, and discover the magic that happens when creativity and community come together.

​

Every session is different, bringing new activities, new challenges, and new opportunities to create. Filled with laughter, curiosity, and exploration, HF Makes is a space where everyone is welcome to express themselves, try something new, and let their imagination lead the way.

​

The exhibition is running from 27 May until 18 December 2026, celebrating the creativity, stories, and ideas that have emerged throughout the journey and will be added to during the later part of 2026. 

The group for parents and careers  supporting neurodivergent children. 

​

We are currently working with Andy from Embrace to offer a ​supportive group for parents and carers to connect with others. 

 

The group provides a safe and welcoming space to share experiences, exchange ideas, and access practical advice and support. Together, we'll explore strategies, resources, and approaches that can help navigate everyday challenges while celebrating the unique strengths and talents of neurodivergent children and young people.

​

Whether you're looking for guidance, a listening ear, or simply reassurance that you're not alone, we offers a place to connect, learn, and support one another through the ups and downs.

A space for people who are neurodivergent, exploring or expressing their gender identity, and people who are part of the LGBTQ+ community.

A place where you can be yourself without judgement. Whether you're looking to meet others with shared experiences, build confidence, find support, or simply enjoy good conversation, you'll be met with understanding, kindness and respect.

Alongside relaxed chats, we'll also explore a range of creative activities.

 

From arts and crafts to mindful making and collaborative projects, creativity gives us another way to express ourselves, build confidence, connect with others, and have a bit of fun. No experience is needed, just come along and give it a go.
