Ipswich County Library is inviting young creatives to a new series of free children’s craft sessions every Sunday morning. The weekly workshops, run by Suffolk Community Libraries, offer fresh creative projects each week for children aged three and above.
The sessions take place from 10:30 to 11:30, with no booking required. Families simply drop in during the hour. Children under eight must stay with an adult. While entry is free, donations are welcome. The next gathering is this Sunday, 21 June 2026. Each week brings new craft ideas, so no two visits are the same.
The library, on Northgate Street, opens on Sundays from 10:00 to 16:00, and the craft hour sits inside that window. The branch already hosts other weekend activities for families, including a Lego Club on Sunday afternoons and an All Hands on Tech programme on Saturday afternoons. The building also houses the Charmed Café, free WiFi, and baby weighing facilities.
Suffolk Community Libraries, part of the county council’s Public Health & Communities team, operates the library and runs a wide programme of free sessions for children. Regulars may already know the rhyme and story sessions for toddlers, as well as coding clubs for older children. Library manager Charmain Osborne oversees the Northgate Street site.
The sessions are designed so families can attend as often or as little as they like, with no commitment beyond a Sunday morning visit. The library can be found at Northgate Street, Ipswich, IP1 3DE.
