An inclusive craft café is set to reopen in Overton this week.
Thread and Toast founders Tory Simpson and Lisa Graves will be reopening their café in Quidhampton Business Park on Monday, September 21.
The café previously opened in November in Malshanger, and offers homemade cakes, food and a creative space for visitors to enjoy craft activities.
Tory said: “It’s much bigger, there’s more parking, there are official walking routes and things like that, there’s much more countryside to enjoy.
“We’ve got some new crafts and a new menu. It’s much bigger, better, cuter and prettier.”
The cafe already offers bracelet making, painting, bookmark making, cross-stitch and coaster-making and is adding candle painting, photo frame decorating, snow globes and more.
The founders were told they would have to move after the landlord decided not to extend the lease.
As part of the reopening, the business will also be taking on Tory’s partner Daniel Box as part of the team.
Tory said: “It’s been a labour of love, that’s for sure, it’s been a real team effort.
“We are really excited. It’s been five weeks since we’ve got the keys so it’s been a quick turnaround.”
