Stafford Wool Gathering

The new venue provides us with plenty of space, which allows us to dedicate space to demonstrations and exhibitions. It also removes the constraints we've increasingly faced at our Bakewell venues, where we've had to turn down exhibitors we'd have loved to offer space to. That allows us to offer larger stand sizes. It will still be a curated show, so we'll make sure there's a good balance of fibre crafts for visitors. We'll also have a limit on the total number of exhibitors, to make sure visit
