2026 Competition - theme Neckwear
Our competitions have proved popular in previous years, this year are asking you to bring your neckwear! It could be a shawl, but also cowls, scarfs or anything that you wear around your neck, 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 our VIP 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!

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.
