Poppy Splash

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Poppy-Makers (September 2026)

As preparations continue for this year’s Poppy Splash display for Remembrance, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to the wonderful group of ladies who have spent countless hours crocheting poppies by hand.

Their dedication, creativity, and generosity have resulted in hundreds of beautiful poppies, each carefully crafted and contributing to what promises to be a stunning and meaningful tribute. The countless stitches represent not only remarkable skill but also a shared commitment to remembering those who have served and sacrificed.

Community projects like the Poppy Splash simply would not be possible without volunteers who are willing to give their time and talents so generously. We are incredibly grateful for the enthusiasm and hard work shown by everyone involved.

However, we still need more, next workshop 8th October 2026 at 7pm (originally 15th), everyone welcome and please bring in any poppies you’ve been making at home.

Thank you for helping us create a fitting display of remembrance that will be enjoyed and appreciated by the whole community.
