Our VIP

Anna Nikipirowicz is our VIP guest for 2025 !  She will be opening the show, judging our hat competition, and teaching a Tunisian crochet workshop!  

2025 Competition - theme hats

Our competitions have proved popular in previous years, this year we are going back to the very first year - and asking you to bring your headwear!  It could be a hat, but also snoods, or anything that you wear on your head, these can be knitted, crochet, woven or felt (or any other yarn/fibrework) design. Diana would like you to bring along your handmade creations (no pre-registration needed - judging by Anna at 12.30pm on the day) there will be prizes!
Our chosen charity since 2017 is KNIT FOR PEACE, we will be accepting donations of knitted and crochet items + spare yarn and accessories at the show, which we will deliver on your behalf after the event.  Donations can be left in the baskets in the Atrium area of the hotel.
Currently they are in need of large blankets, twiddlemuffs, adult jumpers and adult & child scarves, gloves and socks.  
They also need funds towards their distribution costs (donation button opposoite if you can help). 

Knit for Peace supports charities at home and abroad, knits for people from 0-100! ​​Check out the Knit for Peace website here. 

Accessibility 

We have chosen the Marriott hotel because of its accessibility.  There is a section in the car park for disabled parking.  The show is all on one level, the only exception being a breakout seating area which is on the Mezzanine level.  We leave as large aisles as possible.  If you have any further requirements or questions please use the contact form before the show so we may accommodate you.  

Please let us know if you need access to the workshops and we will ensure someone can remove any excess chairs in the rooms.

We want to thank everyone who has made Waltham Abbey Wool Show such a success over the last decade!
