We gather every week in a park around Sheffield and the surrounding area, to chat, catch up, share stories and advice and get a breath of fresh air together.
We’re a friendly bunch and love to welcome new faces. We’ll go to a different park each week, depending on the requests of the group. This might be the group for you if you struggle to get to North Sheffield for our other events, because the location will vary. Feel free to contact Nina (Events Coordinator) on 07752665411 for more information or to suggest a place to meet.

Christmas Wreath Making

SHASBAH and Orchis Floral Design are putting on an evening of wreath-making in Sheffield for parent/carers. Come and do a Christmas activity for grown ups – it’s not all about the kids! We’re going to have a fun and cosy night in. Everything you might need is provided and Emma will lead the session, so everyone will go home with a wreath to be proud of. You can’t go wrong under Emma’s expert tuition!
Last year, we sent out wreath-making kits to parent/carers, provided by Orchis Floral Design. They were very popular and had brilliant feedback, so we know it’s going to be a great evening. We’re excited to be face-to-face in each other’s company this time around.
Our venue is Hagglers Corner, an up-and-coming Sheffield art space. The best part is, the session is completely FREE. We don’t want any barriers to our parent/carers having a well-deserved night to enjoy themselves. All spaces have been filled by parent/carers from our charity membership. Look out for the results on social media.
