Heritage Open Days: Walcot Methodist Chapel
2025-09-14 12:00 - 15:00 | Walcot Methodist Chapel, Nelson Place East, Bath, BA1 5DA, United Kingdom
Walcot Chapel was designed by William Jenkins of London and opened on 30th May 1816, 14 months after the foundation stone was laid. It was the second Methodist building in Bath, the first being in New King Street (now demolished) where the congregation had become too large for the building. Unusually for a Methodist church, the front façade has a Latin inscription ‘Deo Sacrum’.

The organ was originally supplied to the newly opened Bath Assembly Rooms in 1771. It was moved to Walcot Chapel in 1818/19. This was a year or so before organs were officially sanctioned for larger Methodist chapels and when the use of organs in Methodist worship was controversial! It is claimed to be the longest-serving Methodist organ.

The room under the church was used as a schoolroom, with separate entrances for girls and boys. In 1817 there were 414 children in the Sunday School and 82 teachers, but each week some of them were out teaching ‘in the villages’.

Visit free on Heritage Open Days (Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th September, 12pm-3pm). Wheelchair accessible/accessible toilet. Pre-booking not required.

Visible & creative mending - a six week course
2025-09-15 19:00 - 21:00 | BRLSI, 16-18 Queen Square, Bath, Bath & North East Somerset, BA1 2HN, United Kingdom
Add style and personal touches to your clothes by learning techniques to mend, renew and prolong the life of your favourite clothes!

Learn a wealth of fun and practical mending techniques to take home and put into action straight away. Extend the life of your favourite items and significantly reduce their environmental impact. Over the course of six weeks the course will cover three techniques each for knitted and woven fabrics. Mending is the gift that keeps on giving!

Materials provided include: a swatch of knitted fabric, a selection of threads, a swatch of denim, a swatch of cotton, snips and threads, pins, darning profiles, embroidery hoops, felting needles, roving, felting mats.

To bring with you: latch hook (for fixing runs in knitwear), bent needle (for mending), sashiko needle, chenille needle, ball-tipped needle. OR a £10 Kit add-on – see ticket details below (Kit will contain: latch hook, bent tapestry needle, 2 darners, 1 chenille needle and a half decent threader!) .

What to expect:

Week 1: knitted: English darning – the classic woven darn – an excellent all-rounder and the best place to start. Can be used to mend knitted or woven fabrics of all weights, neatly or more organically to your personal taste. if you’re mending a hole, you need to replace the missing stitches – sewing the sides together will just create a puckered, scruffy, unsatisfactory surface. English darning is the fastest way to do that and you can have fun with colours and patterns with micro-weaves, but be aware that weaving on knitwear will by definition always stand out as a bit different. Make a feature of it!

Week 2: knitted: reverse darning – a build on classic English darning, reverse darning does what it says on the tin. Working from the back, this is one of the most durable mends for knitwear, as the warp and weft are secured through the backs of the stitches around and all the way up to the edges of the damage.

Week 3: knitted: Swiss darning – the holy grail of knitwear mending; done well, Swiss darning can render even quite extensive damage invisible. Following the journey of the original thread through the knit, we retrace the steps of where it would have been to reinforce and rebuild the fabric in seemingly “knitted” stitches that behave – and look – exactly as the originals.

Week 4: woven: Japanese sashiko & boro-inspired mending – perfect for patching denim, cotton or other woven textiles in beautiful geometric patterns inspired by the wabi sabi Sashiko tradition of Japan. This technique is both practical and decorative – using many small stitches to bond the patch to the worn fabric in patterns that will give your garment an elegant new look and a new lease of life.

Week 5: woven: applique & patches – working with a felt base we will felt and stitch a patch for covering over damage on either knitwear or weave.

Week 6: woven: embroidery – especially good for disguising stains or updating tired old clothes, embroidery could take up a whole course of its own! Working on a sampler on a hoop, we will go through a range of stitches and the ways they can be deployed to give your wardrobe an elegant new twist.

Karen Bartlett for The Escape from Kabul: A True Story of Sisterhood and Defiance
2025-09-15 19:00 - 21:00 | Topping & Company Booksellers of Bath, York Street, Bath, BA1 1NG, United Kingdom
The Escape from Kabul: A True Story of Sisterhood and Defiance is the extraordinary, moving story of the Afghan women judges who fought for their careers and their lives, and the international network of women who helped them escape the Taliban.

Combining moment-by-moment drama with an emotional story of friendship and bravery, The Escape from Kabul is also a searing insight into the captive fate of women in Afghanistan.

In the twenty years since 2001, Afghan women obtained legal degrees, became judges and set out to transform their country – tackling corruption, and reducing horrifying levels of violence against women and children. These educated and powerful women led the mission to build a modern democracy that respected the rule of law and human rights. However, when Western forces withdrew in August 2021, the women judges of Afghanistan faced mortal danger.

The Escape from Kabul is the extraordinary, never-before-told story of their escape, and the shocking fates of those who were unable to flee. Bestselling, veteran journalist Karen Bartlett has had unique access to many of the women involved, including those in exile and the judges still trapped in Afghanistan, as well as the international network of women judges who were vital to the escape effort.

Karen Bartlett was a speechwriter for President Nelson Mandela and has written for publications including The Times, Wired and Newsweek about women’s rights and empowerment around the world. She is the author of five works of non-fiction, including The Health of Nations and the Sunday Times bestseller After Auschwitz. She lives in London.
