🌺 Could you help us create the next poppy?
Our Poppies Project, in partnership with Lichfield Cathedral, launched on 4th May this year and, thanks to our amazing community, we've already created over 6,500 poppies!
Our goal is more than 120,000 poppies for a spectacular display inside Lichfield Cathedral during Remembrance in 2027.
Whether you knit, crochet, sew or embroider, we'd love you to get involved.
Our free Community Stitch Sessions are open to everyone. You don't need any experience, you don't need to bring any materials, and you'll always find a warm welcome. Come along, learn a new skill, meet friendly people and help create something truly special for our community.
