We've been working on creating a safe and inviting area within our gallery space that people can visit to enjoy a warm, social setting and access a hot drink. We've taken the idea of the warm space further, by providing starter packs to visitors, which offers them the means to create a piece of warmth that they can take home - this could be a hat, mittens, a scarf or the beginning of a blanket. Read more about the project right here. |

Qube plays host to the Oswestry Youth Forum! We had a wonderful visit from the Oswestry Youth Forum at the beginning of November, arranged by our wonderful Arts & Creativity Officer, Gemma! This was a wonderful opportunity for the group to get to know a little more about how Qube supports the local community, some helpful tips and pointers on how to start up a business, plus they got the chance to try out some new crafts too. The group were an absolute pleasure to host and we hope they come back again soon. |
