Macramé and dinner for war widows, defence and veteran families
Knot, create and connect with this wellbeing activity. On Thursday 13 August 2026, war widows, defence and veteran families can join our macramé and dinner evening in Chatswood to learn a new skill and connect over a shared meal with others who understand defence and veteran family life.
Macramé and dinner
Join us in Chatswood to learn the basics of macramé and create your own wall hanging piece to take home. You will be guided through simple knotting techniques step by step, with all materials provided — no experience needed. Once everyone has finished crafting, we will sit down together for a pizza dinner, connecting with other defence and veteran families.
Hop on the Metro train (just a quick 14min ride from either Central to Chatswood or Ryde to Chatswood). Feel free to explore the lively streets of Chatswood, with its great shops and unique attractions.
Previous attendees to wellbeing activities said “I loved the relaxed pace, learning a new skill, connecting with nature, and spending time with such a warm and welcoming group. It was something I wouldn’t normally do, and I can’t wait to do more!”
