Crafty Cheapos will now need to travel to Farnborough for the show in September; check their website for details.
A haven for craft-lovers nationwide, this two-day event has everything you could ever need for knitting, cross-stitch, paper crafting, jewellery and dressmaking as well as for stitch-enthusiasts. They have stalls offering the latest innovations and tools, ideas and creations as well as more supplies than you ever thought possible.
Highlights include the Cake International on Tour, Fooling the Eye (modern quiltworking) and the Glimpses of Royalty Challenge. If you’re keen to get involved in some creations there are workshops on felt-work, hand-stitching brooches and a class on using fair isle patterns.
Tickets can be bought for one or two days with discounts for seniors.
