Two festivals again this summer, because one is never enough! Firstly we are back to Carry on Crafting between July 11th and 12th. This is held at the South of England Showground, Ardingley.
And secondly, Woolly Hugs is headlining (in our hearts) at Camp Bestival between July 30th – August 2nd. Well we are ACTUALLY having a charity stall!
Please come and find us at either event if you are attending!
At Carry on Crafting we plan to run Hugathon type workshop sessions throughout the weekend, focusing on our Cwtch project, getting folk to make 6 inch squares. We will be providing yarn. There is no booking needed for this, it will be a drop in activity. It worked brilliantly over the last two years.. Hopefully it will be busy and great fun again. We will again be accepting ££ donations and spreading the woolly word. As last year (and nearer the time) we will make a blanket to raffle. This was extremely popular and a great fundraiser.
At Camp Bestival we will be again spreading the woolly word and running drop in pompom making sessions for families for a ££ donation, selling Besties and raffling a blanket like last year!
How to help by making BESTIES! THANK YOU!
The theme of Camp Bestival 2026 is ‘At the Beach’ so anything in this theme would be perfect, but any other animals would be perfect too.
So we are looking for small handheld 3D pocket friends. Sewn, knitted, crocheted. Cute or quirky. These sold incredibly well in previous years, over £1000 just in Besties last year, and with your love and support they will again. Because of the age range particularly at Camp Bestival, no buttons, sequins etc, ie nothing which can be a choking risk. Safety eyes or embroidered eyes only.
Last posting for Camp Bestival is 1st July, to Teddington, please write BESTIES on the outside! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
