Stitch Your Story

For our September Open Day, Jessie will lead a unique workshop where you can capture a scent and a memory to carry with you — just as people have done for centuries.

 

As part of UK Heritage Open Days, we’re opening our doors and welcoming everyone to explore the Hostel — come see our spaces, our brand-new bike storage topped with a green wildflower roof, and celebrate the creative energy that lives at the IOU Hostel.

We’ll be marking the legacy of our Artist in Residence programme with a special film presentation featuring artists who have lived and worked at the Hostel — and find out what they’re creating now.

Plus ‘Stitch Your Story’ – a drop in family workshop led by current Artist in Residence, Jessie Li.  1-3pm Sat 13/9/2025
