Craftea is a warm and welcoming role play cafe designed especially for young children to explore, imagine, and play in a safe and engaging environment. While the little ones dive into creative role play and hands on fun, adults can relax with a freshly brewed coffee and enjoy a calm, comfortable space to unwind. A place where children can learn through play and grown ups can take a well deserved pause. A little space for big imaginations and a cosy coffee break for you.

✨ **Quiet Poetry Group with Zine-o-philia** ✨

Come along to our new Quiet Poetry Group at Craftea in Meanwood; a calm, welcoming space to write, share and discuss poetry with curious poets of all experience levels. 📝☕

How does it work?
The organiser will send out a series of prompts, usually combining a poetical form and a theme. You can use these prompts to write one or more poems — or completely ignore them and bring whatever you like!

If you'd like to share your work, email your poem(s) to: [email protected], preferably a couple of days before the meeting. You can also simply come along to listen, read, discuss and explore.

At the meeting, we'll read the poems aloud and discuss them **one by one, anonymously**, in a quiet, respectful and supportive way. You can choose to claim your poem at the end of its discussion. 🌿

📍 Craftea, Meanwood
📅 17th October
🕛 12pm

No poetry experience necessary — just curiosity.

Bring your own work, follow the prompts, or simply come and listen.

📩 Email [email protected] if you're interested in attending or would like more information.

✨ Come write. Come listen. Come curious.

Today someone walked in and I just thought… she was absolutely beautiful. This happens a lot to me at Craftea. ✨

And it’s not always about being conventionally gorgeous either, sometimes it’s just a way about them. That warm, bright energy, the way they carry themselves, something in their smile that just lights everything up. That’s the kind of beauty that really sticks with you.

I find myself wondering, do they even know how beautiful they are? Part of me wants to say it just in case they don’t. I want to be the one to gently remind them, if they’ve forgotten.

This happens so often. There are people I see who are so lovely, inside and out, I just want to tell them. But I freeze. Worried I’ll come across weird. Worried they’ll think I’m making a pass. So I stay quiet, and then I kick myself later.

Do you ever say something? Should I? Genuine compliments feel like such a gift, but getting the words out feels so hard.

So my new plan: adult award stickers.
“Congrats on your face and that wonderful way about you.”

No big speech, no awkwardness, I can just dish them out in public and quickly scurry away like a weird axnious racoon. Just a little note to make someone’s day, and maybe remind them how lovely they truly are.

Who’s with me? 😊👇

🤘 Last night at Heavy Metal Therapy Leeds, we had a T-shirt-making session, and just LOOK at this beauty one of our members created! 🤘

The community is growing, the creativity is showing, and the metal is most definitely flowing! (I am slightly....no, seriously, proud of that little rhyme!)

A massive shout-out to everyone who came along and got involved. It’s brilliant to see our community growing, connecting, and creating together.

📍 Heavy Metal Therapy Leeds meets at Craftea on the second Friday of every month.

🗓️ Our next meet-up is Friday 13th November — how serendipitous that it falls on Friday the 13th! 🖤💀🤘

Come along, get creative, meet your fellow metalheads, and be part of our growing community.

🌐 Visit heavymetaltherapy.co.uk for more information and useful resources.

Good people. Great metal. Creative chaos. Heavy Metal Therapy Leeds. 🤘🔥

🤘 HEAVY METAL THERAPY IS BACK AT CRAFTEA! 🤘

📅 Friday 9th October
⏰ 6–8pm
📍 Craftea,
🔄 Every second Friday of the month

If heavy music is your thing, come along and find out what Heavy Metal Therapy is all about. 🖤

Heavy Metal Therapy is a community for people who find metal music helpful for their mental wellbeing. It’s a space to share experiences, talk openly, connect with others and explore how music can help us process feelings, without judgement and without needing to have all the answers.

Whether you’re a lifelong metalhead, discovering the scene, or simply curious about how music and mental health can connect, you’re welcome.

🎸 Come for the music.
🖤 Stay for the community.
🤘 Have a chat, share your experiences, or just listen.

Heavy Metal Therapy is a peer-support community, not a clinical mental health service, just people coming together around a shared love of heavy music and honest conversations.

👉 Follow Heavy Metal Therapy on their socials to keep up with their groups, resources, playlists, stories and all things metal + mental health.

I feel like I owe you all an apology… because there won’t be a load of extra Halloween and Christmas events at Craftea this year. And honestly… I’m knackered.

Between looking for a new venue, the uncertainty around potentially closing, keeping Craftea going day-to-day and generally trying to keep all the plates spinning, I’ve realised that my energy tank is flashing just as much as my petrol indicator in my car… so much so, it looks like a rave!

I’ve spent so much time worrying, planning, overthinking and trying to work out what happens next that I just don’t have it in me to start planning a whole load of extra special events on top of everything else.

And do you know what?

That’s okay.

Craftea will still be here. We’ll still be making, crafting, drinking coffee, eating cake and having our usual family-friendly fun.

I just need to give myself permission to take my foot off the accelerator, process everything and rest a little.

Three years of hustling at full throttle is starting to take its toll, and I think I need to acknowledge that rather than just keep pushing through.

So I’m sorry if you were hoping for a huge calendar of Halloween and Christmas events this year, but this year I think the biggest special event might be me sitting down for five minutes without feeling guilty about it.

Thank you for understanding, for continuing to support Craftea and, most importantly, for being here while I try to figure everything out.

Normal Craftea chaos will continue.

Thank you for sticking with me.
