Events & Workshops

Workshops

Tuesday evenings we host our Community Collective Workshops, our most common projects are rug hooking + needle felting! Registration is required to ensure you get a spot, find upcoming dates and projects here! Beginning in January 2024 there will be a small fee to participate in these workshops. 

Thursday evenings are our *free* Bring Your Own Project night, stop by with your own textile project and sit with the community while you work! No instruction is offered on these evenings, but the sharing of skills and knowledge is encouraged! Registration is recommended, but not required, for these and can be found at the above link.

Kids workshops are offered occasionally, these are intended for kids to attend with an adult present on site (we don't have the capacity for children to be left with our team). When not in use for workshops we offer colouring and bracelet making on our community tables! 

Pop Ups & Events

We LOVE community events like SWITCH, Pull Up On Portland & the Ice Festival and will always do what we can to participate in these! 

Following along on social media (@trainyardstore) or signing up for our Community Newsletter are the best ways to stay up to date on what's upcoming at The Trainyard! 

We find Food vendors, or those offering interactive demonstrations tend to have the most success popping up in store - please reach out anytime if that's something that interests you!

We do not offer our space for birthday parties.

 

Community Action Team Projects

We hope to offer more opportunities to engage with our Community Partners, and to help out in their beautiful spaces as the year goes on. In the past we hosted two awesome visits from Hope for Wildlife, so that is high on our list of things to bring back when we can!
