Avalon Stitchers (formerly known as Avalon Embroiderers' Guild) is an independent stitch group formed following the decision of the Embroiderers' Guild to no longer have a branch network.
We meet in Ashcott Village Hall which is between Street and Bridgwater (see Workshop Programme and Special Events pages for details of what is on).
We usually meet on the 4th Saturday of the month, unless there is a bank holiday, in which case the meeting day will be moved, please check the Workshop Programme page for exact dates during the year. No meetings in August or December.
The day starts at 9.30 am and ends by 4 pm. Workshops run from 10 am prompt until approximately 3/3.30 pm.
We are a friendly group, but unfortunately we are now full and have a waiting list. If you are interested in joining us in the future, please get in touch through the contact page and someone will get back to you.
Young people - whilst we would like to encourage young people to take up stitching and textile related activities, we regret that our insurance policy does not allow anyone under the age of 18 to attend our meetings - even those who are accompanied by a parent, grandparent or other carer.
We strive to offer a varied workshop programme, to meet the needs and interests of our members, ranging from traditional hand embroidery through to machine embroidery and textile art.
We have an extensive library of stitching and design books for members to borrow, and we usually have a sales table and a raffle at our monthly meetings.
Please look at the Gallery where you will find photographs of current work we are doing.
All meetings are held in Ashcott Village Hall, High Street, Ashcott, TA7 9PZ. See How To Find Us for a map.
Tea and coffee are available all day but please bring your own packed lunch.
