The Create Place

The Create Place is a social enterprise managed by St Margaret’s House, the community charity in which we are housed. We are proud to be not-for-profit and committed to supporting the local community. Every penny profit we make goes directly back into the project to provide subsidised spaces and support our programme of free drop in sessions. Our aim is to be 100% self sufficient, not supported by any form of government funding, so every time you enrol on one of our courses or purchase something in our shop, you are bringing us one step closer to our goal.

Our aim is simple: to bring local artists, craft enthusiasts, designers, makers and complete beginners together under one roof to share ideas, learn, teach and be inspired to create. We offer a combination of workshops, open studio time, informal clubs and drop in sessions as well as being on hand to offer advice. We also offer a monthly membership so regular users can benefit from discounts to our workshops and facilities.

The environment

We have a strong environmental ethic at The Create Place and source as much of our materials second hand as possible. During our workshops we place an emphasis on recycling and up cycling old and unwanted items into new items.  We work closely with Ayoka Charity Boutique to recycle unsellable items.
