by | Oct 23, 2023 | Weeknotes | 0 comments

Each week we’ll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.

And remember, if you’re involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here!

Relax and Make Christmas Green with Wirral MakeFest

We’re taking part in Wirral MakeFest’s Christmas event on 2nd December. It’s a “chilled Christmas making and selling opportunity for the first Saturday in December” at Williamson Art Gallery & Museum.

DoES Liverpool Christmas Party

While we’re talking about Christmas, plans are afoot to hold the DoES Liverpool party on Saturday 16th December. Save the date and await further details from Seán and Kirsty.
