Our annual sewing festival is a fun, sociable day out, where you can meet fellow textile enthusiasts.
Browse the curated marketplace for artisan fabrics and haberdashery to purchase for your own textile projects or buy unique handcrafted work from specialist artists and makers. Learn from the experts, try new techniques and enjoy a varied programme of workshops across the two days.
Applications to exhibit at thread... a festival of textiles 2027 will open at the beginning of November 2026.
