The Harrogate Knitting & Stitching Shows are the definitive and best exhibitions for lovers of textiles in the UK and Ireland. As the name suggests, the Show covers knitting and stitching but there is SO much more - felt-making, shibori-dying, jewellery making, card making, mixed-media… the list goes on. There is so much to see and do you’ll find it hard to fit everything into one day, with hundreds of exhibitors selling specialist supplies that you can’t find in the shops. There are galleries from leading artists and groups, plus hundreds of workshops to introduce you to lots of new subjects. This tour will be led by one of Ireland’s leading Tour Managers, Alicquo Fulton.
