Make your own books, parcels or a parcel of books! Mindful Monday 8th December from 10am to 12pm, EX31 1DR
How beautiful are these tiny works of art? We’re so excited to welcome Clare Colby from Space to Be Wellbeing CIC to our next Mindful Monday community drop-in on Monday 8th December 2025.
From 10am to 12pm, Clare will be running a special Christmas-themed Hands on Books taster workshop in Castle Centre Hall. Everyone knows books make fantastic gifts and these tiny books will make fabulous, unique decorations for festive trees and other home ornaments.
In the session you will learn how to make your own tiny books, parcels or decorations to take home. You only need to make a community contribution of £3 to £6 on the day to take part.
And, after all that creativity, you can pop next door into Castle Chambers Barnstaple Café for a cuppa or lunch and take part in any of the many other #MindfulMonday activities taking place.
The Woodyard is all about connection and collaboration – so we are really pleased to have this opportunity to support a great new community project like Hands on Books.
The Hands on Books project will be launching properly in January 2026. Want to know more in the meantime? Take a look at Clare’s blog here

We all look forward to seeing you next Monday 8th December 2025!
