Residents have been welcomed to come along and enjoy a new arts and crafts workshop that's set to open in Biddulph later this month.

The workshop is due to open at the visitor centre at Biddulph Grange Country Park in less than two weeks - with its opening day being on Friday, 25th February.

The workshop will open at 12pm and everyone has been invited to go along and enjoy what it has to offer.

Marianne Hodgkinson, who is running the workshop, spoke more about the sorts of services it will be offering.

She told Nub News: "After a year of communication and planning with Biddulph Town Council who have been wonderful, in particular Cllr Jim Garvey, we will be opening.

"We will be providing a variety of arts and crafts workshops for everyone. Different artists specialising in all areas will deliver sessions ranging from taster workshops to challenging opportunities for those seeking to push their creative boundaries.

"We will also be offering therapy based well-being group workshops and fun sessions for birthday, hen/stag dos, and baby shower parties.

"We sit in a beautiful woodland area which provides so much inspiration. We are passionate about the environment, local community and visitors to the area and can't wait to welcome everyone in."
