Hobby clubs in Langley: gardening, quilting, photography, models and more

Langley has a club for most things you can do with your hands on a weeknight, and almost all of them meet in a church hall, a rec centre or the Arts Council building in Aldergrove. Below, by hobby, is where each one meets and how to try it. The ones with their own Hey Langley page get a line and a link; the Garden Club, which didn’t have a page until now, gets the long version.

Langley Garden Club

The Langley Garden Club started in 1941 and its site marks 2026 as its 85th year. It meets on the second Monday of the month (no January meeting) upstairs at the United Churches of Langley, 21562 Old Yale Road, at Five Corners in Murrayville where 216 Street meets 48 Avenue. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the meeting starts at 7.

A night there runs like this: a short bit of club business, show and tell, a judged parlour show (members bring a bloom or an arrangement from their own garden and a judge scores it; the club posts a parlour show guide on its site), refreshments, a raffle and a guest speaker. Members also get an August picnic and a December Christmas party.

Cost and the catch. Dues are $25 a person per year, but the club says on its home page that membership is full and it keeps a waiting list. You can still drop in for $5 a meeting when there’s space, which is the way to see whether it suits you before your name comes up.

The spring show and sale is the club’s big public day. In 2026 it was the 45th annual, on Saturday, May 2, 9 am to 2 pm, at Southridge Fellowship Church, 22756 48 Avenue: a plant show, a members’ plant sale, a bake table with preserves, and outside vendors in the parking lot. The BC Council of Garden Clubs lists it as the last Saturday in April, and 2026 slipped into May, so watch the club’s site in early spring for the 2027 date.

The club is a member of the BC Council of Garden Clubs. If you’d rather grow than show, our community gardens page lists where to get a plot.

Photography

The Langley Camera Club has been going since about 1961. It meets Wednesdays at 7 pm from September to June, mostly on Zoom, with the second Wednesday in person at the West Langley Lions hall on 208 Street. Evaluation nights with an outside judge, speaker nights, and outings all over the Lower Mainland. Guests can ask for a Zoom link.

Quilting, spinning and weaving

• Langley Quilters’ Guild: more than 130 members, fourth Wednesday of the month at the George Preston Recreation Centre in Brookswood, with a day meeting and an evening one. Hundreds of charity quilts a year.
• Langley Weavers & Spinners Guild: a teaching guild for spinners, weavers, felters and knitters, meeting in Aldergrove since 1971, now at the Langley Arts Council building on 29 Avenue. Its Beyond Fibre sale is in November.

For the supplies, see yarn and knitting shops and fabric and sewing shops.

Painting and art

• Aldergrove Art Club: Wednesday afternoons, 1 to 4 pm, at Heritage Hall on 273 Street. A painting circle more than it is a class.
• Fort Langley Artists Group: a smaller group of Township painters and makers who have shown together since 1993, with a fall show and sale at the Fort Langley Community Hall.

The arts directory and art classes page cover the rest, including the Langley Arts Council.

Woodworking, fixing and making

Men’s Shed Langley is for men 18 and up: Tuesday-morning coffee at the seniors’ centre and a shared shop with woodworking tools, a laser cutter and 3D printers. Visiting costs nothing.

Vintage cars

The Central Fraser Valley chapter of the Vintage Car Club runs the Country Car Show in the Aldergrove Community Secondary parking lot on the last Sunday in April, with 200-plus old vehicles. The page explains how the club works and how to join.

Model trains

There’s no stand-alone model railway club with its own site in Langley that we could find. The closest thing to a public layout is in Fort Langley: the Langley Heritage Society says an HO-scale model railway, the Glen Valley line, runs in the 1920s caboose beside the CNR Station. For locomotives and track, InterCity Trains and Hobbies is on our shops page.

Public speaking

Langley Toastmasters (club 2743) has met since its charter in 1978. Toastmasters International lists it on Tuesdays, 6:50 to 9 pm, in Multi-Purpose Room 2 on the second floor of Timms Community Centre, 20399 Douglas Crescent, Langley City. The club is open to anyone and a first visit as a guest is free with no obligation to speak; the club listing has the message button.

Run a club we missed?

We list clubs we can confirm are meeting now, from their own site or a current post. If yours meets in Langley and has one, send it to us and we’ll add it.
