WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT
[email protected] https://wool-j13.uk/ echoes many wool shows aimed at a niche, but very well populated segment of the population country wide. North, South, East & West boast such shows, well attended by a wide range of exhibitors dealing in knitting, crocheting, dyeing, fibre in all its forms, felting, needle felting – you name it, they do it, plus workshops and demos. And visitors with a yen for making with wool in all its forms, flock to these shows. The gap in provision of such a wool show in the middle of the country was filled by [email protected], notably in its successful inaugural show in May 2017 in Staffordshire.
[email protected] is quirky, individual and just a little bit different to all the other wool shows around the UK, giving people the opportunity to shop, eat, drink & learn and have fun at the same time. For 2023 we are moving to the new and very beautiful location of Bishton Hall at Wolseley Bridge, Staffordshire, a grade II listed Georgian mansion with lovely landscaped gardens which we know will contribute to creating that laid back festival vibe which the show has always been famous for. As always we feature a main shopping zone, music & workshops & camping for traders & exhibitors with visitor camping about 15 mins away at the well provided for Carney Pools Camping & Caravan site. We also present a Street Food area named The Peckish Pony.
THE PECKISH PONY STREET FOOD at [email protected]
The street food experience from around the world aims to tantalise the taste buds and present a healthy alternative to burger & chips. We are keen to offer vegan & vegetarian alternatives and if you are sweet & lovely with not too much of the sugar stuff, we want to hear from you.
