Mend With Friends: Norwich

Mend With Friends Norwich has moved! Find us at:

'The Smithy',

Unit 5 St Saviours Yard,

Norwich,

NR3 1GQ

MEND WITH FRIENDS is all about sharing our mending skills and stories with one another, in a relaxed environment. This is not a taught workshop but there will be someone on-hand to share their skills with you. Even if you have never picked up a needle and thread before, we'd love you to come along and learn from the community!

We would love menders and aspiring menders of all ages and abilities to join us, but all young people under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

As the activities involve sharps and small objects, this may not be suitable for very young children to join in (although please know that small children/babies are very welcome to be with us!).

These are drop-in sessions, with basic mending materials and equipment provided.

Thanks to some generous funding from the Norwich Freemen, in 2026 we are able to run Mend With Friends on a 'gift' or 'donate-what-you-can' basis.

Sometimes people want to give financially but find it tricky to know how much to give, so we offer some suggested donations depending on your level of financial privilege. We suggest:

£5- for waged adults

£3- for low-waged adults / students

Between £1-£3 if £3 would create financial hardship.

FREE for unwaged adults, under-16s, and carers/support workers.

If making a donation is not possible without creating financial hardship, we would love you to join us as our gift to you.
