South Square makes space for people to connect, share commonalities and alleviate isolation in its many forms. We welcome regular weekly and monthly groups that pride themselves on approachability and support.
This free group is a well-attended and vibrant. The participants contribute a huge amount to the community of Thornton. You will often find some ‘yarn bombing’ throughout the village on special occasions like the Queens Platinum Jubilee or Gala weekends. The group is very supportive and loves to welcome newcomers. This is a drop in session, so if you would like to come, pop in between 9.30 – 11.30am on a Wednesday morning.

South Square is a collection of 19th Century workers cottages, in the old Yorkshire village of Thornton, famous for its Brontë connections and its impressive 20-arch viaduct.
Renovated as a community arts centre in 1982, South Square Centre is now home to ten studio spaces for a variety of artists, as well as a gallery, community spaces, archive, fine art framers, bar and a cafe.
The centre hosts community events and activities for all ages, including an ongoing workshop programme and provides community spaces available to hire.
