Bedford Craft Swaps

Thank you for having us The Panacea Museum. Lovely to welcome so many people for craft swapping - regulars and newbies alike.

Next date to follow soon. In the meantime, I’d love to see pictures of anything you create with your new craft supplies.

Do you know of any local schools, charities or community groups who need craft materials? Please tag them in the comments or point them in my direction. I always have leftover supplies looking for new homes.

If you've never been to one of the craft swaps before, here's how it works.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Great Big Green Week 2026 has begun! Next Saturday's craft swap is just one of many events taking place. See the full list here: https://www.greatbiggreenweek.com/events_calendar

(Slightly less than) two weeks to go! What will you be swapping?

Next craft swap: 13th June at the The Panacea Museum.
Times TBC

Can anyone help Embrace with a few specific things they need for half-term activities?

Check out the list below 👇

We are getting ready for lots of creative, sensory fun in the February half term and we’d love your help gathering a few things we need to make this happen.

We are looking for 👇

⭐ Coloured cellophane
⭐ Coloured tissue paper
⭐ Fairy lights
⭐ CDs
⭐ Glitter
⭐ Tin foil
⭐ Torches
⭐ Disco balls

Whether it’s one item or a bag of bits from a cupboard clear-out, everything is hugely appreciated and will be well used.

Please get in touch if you can help, and we’ll let you know how and where to drop items off.

Thank you everyone for some excellent swapping today.

Did anyone accidentally drop off this sweet rabbit? I found her in the fabric bag. Will return her or, if not claimed, will take her to a charity shop.

We’re here. We’re swapping. Come and join us.
