Come along and celebrate all things woolly. We have it all from packed out crafting markets to expert demonstrations, talks, performances, tea room pop-ups and loads more. Whether you’re a natty knitter or crackers about crochet, it’s a great day out for all ages.
Housed within the surroundings of the Grade II listed Armley Mills, come along and explore the many wonderful mill spaces and temporary exhibitions.
Join us for live music, morris dancers, films and activities.
Full programme and stall holders to be announced.
