Over 230 workshops
Our workshop programme lies at the heart of the show. With the help of some of the World’s best textile crafters we’ve put together a jam-packed programme of over 230 classes which cater to all abilities and interests.
Our workshops range from one-hour taster sessions to 90 minute, two-hour and three-hour masterclasses.
Sessions include rag-rugging, applique, macrame, needlefelting, fair isle knitting, machine sewing, embroidery, dressmaking and more.
Please note: We are trying to limit the amount of cash taken for workshops, show guides and merchandise and would encourage you to use a debit or credit card wherever possible. Most exhibitors will continue to accept cash but can take card payments too.
