A FREE knit and natter session is being held in a Maldon café.

St Peter’s Hospital Café, on Spital Road, is holding the session free of charge to help those who may be feeling lonely.

People can turn up for a coffee and a chat. They can bring their own wool or use some of the café’s.

Others will be on hand to teach knitting techniques to those who do not know how.

The event will take place on Thursday, March 30, at 2pm.
