As we approach a decade of the Coffin Works we’re reminded of the family we’ve built and the people who are still with us 10 years on. That’s validation that we’re doing something right 🥰 Moments like this reinforce why we do what we do. #Birmingham

It's nearly that time of year again... We're looking for crafters and makers to exhibit at our Festive Market on Sunday 1st December, 11am-4pm. Contact newmanbrothers@coffinworks.org for further details 🎄🛍️

Celebrating a decade of the Coffin Works is hard to sum up in one post, but last night’s celebrations came pretty close to perfectly defining our 10 years. Here’s to the next 10 years of this wonderful place! 🎈🎂🥳

Happy 10th Birthday!!! @CoffinWorks 🎈🎉🎂🥳 @HayesSarah17

As it's #WorldMentalHealthDay , we're sharing a little appreciation for our Quiet Room. We try to keep mental health at the forefront of all we do here and having safe spaces like this, an understanding team around you and space to be who you are makes a world of difference 💚
