World Textile Day

Hello and welcome to the new website. It is still a work in progress and we are still adding new things every few days, but its's looking good!

March events coming up are ...

Sunday 7th March is The Antique Textile Fair at the Armitage Centre, Fallowfied in Manchester. This fair is run by volunteers from the Textile Society and has lectures and Guild associations as well as a huge sports hall full of amazing stands. There are vintage fashions, ethnic textiles, linen, lace, accessories and all sorts. If you love old and interesting textiles THIS is the place to be.

The Textile Society is organising a new fair down in London on September 26th too - more details soon.

Saturday 13th March is the date for the second WORLD TEXTILE DAY which we are helping to organise at the Minerva Centre in the middle of the lovely little mid Wales town of Llanidloes.

We five traders are taking over the whole centre with an exhibition of costume from around the world as well as our stands selling all kinds of very tempting goodies!

Tea and cakes are provided by the local quilters and there are plenty of very nice eateries nearby - especially my favourite The Great Oak cafe. Parking is also plentiful and there is great countryside all around, so a good day out.

More details of both are in our Events Diary
