About CMW Events
Choose from a broad selection of workshops taught by some of the top miniaturists from the UK and overseas. Run throughout the year our workshops offer something for everyone, from beginners to the most experienced miniaturists.
Enjoy making miniatures with a friendly group of like-minded people.
CMW Events has been run and managed since 2015 by Pat Comber a keen miniaturist enthusiast, and her daughter Louise Comber who is not, but don't hold that against her.
Our first event was held in the Cotswolds after we took over management, relocating to Peterborough, Cambridgeshire in 2016 with an annual event held in October. During 2019 we branched out, adding several CMW Lite workshops in addition to the main annual event with great success. Since the pandemic we now focus solely one our inidividual workshops run throughout the year.
Workshop Location
Our workshops are held at the Eye community Centre (Also known as Manor Farm community Centre). This is situated on the High Street in the village of Eye, just outside Peterborough. The hall is disability accessible, all facilities are on one level and there are disabled parking spaces in front of the building.

It is an easy car journey from the A1. You can leave the A1 at either Junction 17 – A1139 Fletton Parkway (first Junction reached from the South) or Junction 18 – A47 (first junction reached from the North).
