Greetings scone enthusiasts!
Are you ready to rise to the occasion and learn all about scone making?
Our expert chef will be sharing their secrets for making the perfect scone, and you’ll have the opportunity to try your hand at making a batch of your own.
We first met Nessa in lockdown for a baking lesson from her kitchen, and we’re so pleased to have her back – this time in the flesh!
You’ll leave with a wealth of knowledge about the history and variations of scones, as well as a delicious, freshly baked batch to sample. And don’t worry if you’re a beginner – this event is open to bakers of all skill levels.
We will provide butter, but please bring a plate and butter knife. You can even bring some jam!
We promise that this event will be a real “knead” to know experience.
We’ll also be hosting our traditional February gift-swap. Bring a gift that’s unused and a good quality, and either leave it on our table or swap it for some else’s gift. If you don’t have a gift to swap for another, you can leave a small donation. All monies will go to Hope Food Bank.
→ What To Bring
- A mug, plate, and butter knife;
- Gifts for the gift swap;
- Correct cash for refreshments (50p each);

This Month: How to Stop Time by Matt Haig
“She smiled a soft, troubled smile and I felt the whole world slipping away, and I wanted to slip with it, to go wherever she was going… I had existed whole years without her, but that was all it had been. An existence. A book with no words.”
Tom Hazard has just moved back to London, his old home, to settle down and become a high school history teacher. And on his first day at school, he meets a captivating French teacher at his school who seems fascinated by him. But Tom has a dangerous secret. He may look like an ordinary 41-year-old, but owing to a rare condition, he’s been alive for centuries. Tom has lived history–performing with Shakespeare, exploring the high seas with Captain Cook, and sharing cocktails with Fitzgerald. Now, he just wants an ordinary life.
Unfortunately for Tom, the Albatross Society, the secretive group which protects people like Tom, has one rule: Never fall in love. As painful memories of his past and the erratic behavior of the Society’s watchful leader threaten to derail his new life and romance, the one thing he can’t have just happens to be the one thing that might save him. Tom will have to decide once and for all whether to remain stuck in the past, or finally begin living in the present.
How to Stop Time tells a love story across the ages–and for the ages–about a man lost in time, the woman who could save him, and the lifetimes it can take to learn how to live. It is a bighearted, wildly original novel about losing and finding yourself, the inevitability of change, and how with enough time to learn, we just might find happiness.
Soon to be a major motion picture starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

If you would like to explore footpaths and beautiful places close to home that you may not have noticed before and all within an hours drive of Beeston. Please do come and join us – we can’t wait to welcome you!
