Have you ever tried to break a world record before? Well now’s your chance. Come and join us in our attempt to break the world record for knitting the largest piece of material! This amazing event will be a charity fund-raiser too so why not get stuck in.
Not only that we’ll have amazing workshops showing you how to spin wool, make wood sculptures, turn wood and make recycled jewellery from broken jewellery and old beads with a bead loom.

For those interested in local history we’ll be having Westgate Past presenting a wonderful selection of their photos and personal stories of interesting historic characters.

What’ll be on:

Wool spinning
Wood sculpture
Westgate Past photo display
Recycled jewellery workshops and bead works with loom – bring broken jewellery and beads
Woodturning workshops
Knitting Workshops
Attempt at the World Record for the largest knitted piece of material. Fund raiser for charity.
