Accrington Cricket Club

On Saturday 16th November 2024 we held our ‘Festive Crafts’ event at Accrington Cricket Club! The session was led by the talented Gareth Muir of Crag Moor Bushcraft.

Participants learned safe knife handling skills, proper whittling techniques, and crafted their very own Winter Wonderland display! Participants used whittling knives to make different tree models from a length of hazel wood, once these were crafted they were attached to a wood cookie to make their own display!

Thank you to Accrington Cricket Club for lending us their wonderful space, and thank you to Gareth for lending us his amazing knowledge!

Activity funded by Lancashire County Council, Hyndburn Borough Council, and the Windfall Fund.

On Friday 25th October The PROSPECTS Foundation held their first ‘Fairy Door Making’ activity at Accrington Cricket Club.

Participants used natural material such as bark, berries, wood chippings and twigs to create their very own fairy doors and fairy houses, with accompanying furniture!

Everyone crafted some spectacular creations that our mystical friends will no doubt love!

Thank you to everyone who attended the session, you all made it a wonderful afternoon. Thank you also to Accrington Cricket Club for lending us their incredible space!
