The south-east's largest yarn festival welcomes creatives and makers of all abilities. Visit the curated marketplace to discover hand-dyed yarns, local and international traders, as well as recognisable brands.

The three-day event also offers plenty of opportunities to get involved. Elevate your experience by attending a free talk, trying something new in a taster session, or spend time developing your skills at one of the many bookable workshops.

Whether you're an avid knitter, passionate crocheter, or curious beginner, unravel offers an inspiring space to explore your craft.

Tickets are available in advance* and with timed entry** so that we can manage visitor traffic to ensure the best possible visitor experience. Tickets will also be available on the door throughout the festival, although we encourage you to book in advance to avoid queuing.

*Sales of advance tickets will be disabled at midnight on the day prior to entry (e.g. advance tickets for entry on Saturday will be disabled at midnight on the Friday). Tickets will then be available to purchase on the door. The £5 concession ticket for 18-25 yrs is for advance bookings only.

**We are operating timed arrival slots between 9.30am–11.30am (Fri & Sat) and 10am-11am (Sun) to manage visitor traffic. Please select your chosen slot and arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before your entry time. Your entry window is 45 minutes and you can enter at any point during that time. There is no limit on the duration of your visit.

Please note that if you book a festival workshop, same-day entry to the marketplace is included in the price of your workshop ticket. You will also have access to the marketplace at any time on the day of your workshop.
