A wee note about returns

In the past, we have returned tickets up to the last days before the festival, and even at shorter notice in exceptional circumstances. Sometimes this has meant we were out of pocket in paying workshop tutors their proper fees. From 2026, we will honour returned tickets ~ for workshops and talks up to 3rd April 2026 ~ for marketplace tickets up to 10th April 2026 Booking fees are non-refundable and refunds will also incur a £1.50 admin fee. Any requests outwith these dates will be at our discretion only and for significantly extenuating circumstances.

The Marketplace

Our Marketplace is spread out over multiple rooms, with plenty of space for visitors to mingle, chat to vendors and squish yarn and fibre. There will be plenty of seating and quiet places of retreat too.

The Vendors

Shop some of your favourite indie dyers, yarn producers, craft suppliers and other fibre businesses, all under one roof in the Marketplace.

Our exciting vendor list has now been announced, including an expanded Pop Up schedule, specifically designed to support smaller and newer businesses… Check them all out here!

Workshops

There will be a programme of workshops led by expert tutors. `We have previously welcomed Tania of TJFrog, Helen Chatterton and Samira Hill amongst others. Brush up on an old skill or explore an entirely new one! 

Talks

With so many interesting vendors and local fibre artisans and experts to learn from, we will host a wonderful line-up of talks. Previous guests include Woolly Originals, Sylvia Watts-Cherry and Di Gilpin.
