Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Knitting & Stitching Show Harrogate
The UK’s leading textile art, craft and design event, The Knitting & Stitching Show, returns to the HCC in the picturesque spa town of Harrogate from Thursday 21 – Sunday 24 November 2024, with a packed programme of highlights to excite and inspire.
For knitters and stitchers keen to learn new skills, the Learning Curve programme features engaging workshops hosted by expert tutors. From complete beginners to intermediate and advanced stitchers, there’s something for everyone. The Dressmaking Studio by Brother is dedicated to making your own clothes, from an introduction to basic dressmaking to a masterclass in classic couture finishes, and for visitors keen to learn how to use an overlocker, join The Knitting & Stitching Show’s Baby Lock Overlocker Classes. In the Creative Living Theatre, knitting and sewing personalities will be demonstrating new techniques and hosting catwalk shows. Last year’s line-up includes the likes of Steffi Stern from The Makerss, Angela Pressley from The Sewing Club, and Clive Bruder from Boys Sew Too. 2024’s line-up will be announced shortly.
Acclaimed textile artists and groups will be sharing new work in the Textile Galleries, with exhibitions by Jessie Chorley, Geeta Khandelwal, Harriet Riddell and more.
For crafters looking to top up their supplies or do some early Christmas gift shopping, expect to find loads of craft retailers under one roof, from big-name brands to hand-picked artisan companies – including specialist yarn suppliers in The Yarn Village.
The Knitting & Stitching Show Prosecco Bar is the perfect place to celebrate, catch up with friends and meet fellow stitchers, and there are plenty of food outlets throughout the show to stop for a bite to eat.
