The Festival of Quilts August 16, 2012

The Festival of Quilts (organised with the support of the Quilters Guild of the British Isles) has earned a reputation over the past nine years as the largest, most inspiring quilting event in Europe - with good reason!

The Festival of Quilts boasts a host of gallery exhibitions from leading international artists and groups; we display around 1,000 quilts entered into competition and we offer the largest range of patchwork & quilting supplies under one roof than any other event. Over 300 companies sell all those hard-to-find patchwork and quilting supplies, so bring your shopping bags!

We also offer The Quilt Academy with a stunning programme of nearly 100 masterclasses, workshops and lectures, and the Quick & Easy workshops provide another 100-plus sessions aimed at beginners.
