Come and be merry and bright. It’s the Oxford Christmas Hugathon!
Tickets on sale from 7pm on Monday 1st September 2025. Set an alarm!
The Great Woolly Hugs’ Christmas Hugathon in Oxford takes place on Saturday 29th November 2025 between 11.00am and 3.30pm, at St John’s Hall Church, Broadway, Kidlington, OX5 1DD. All welcome!
Our Venue is fully accessible. Access to the venue is smooth from street level. There are accessible bathroom facilities.
As it is our Christmas Hugathon you might like to wear any Christmas jumper/decorations you may have, but NO OBLIGATION! Additionally we will try not to Wham everyone like we did in Gloucester that time!
TICKETS COST £20 EACH, which includes Event swag!
In time for this Event we are registering with Stripe for card payments which will be a lot easier. WE HOPE!
Our Hugathons are a wonderful opportunity to meet fellow Woolly Huggers who share a love of crafting. They are friendly and inclusive. It is a great time for chatting with your fellow Woolly crew and sharing ideas. If Tortie behaves we will let him come too! We’ve included some testimonials from folk who have been to one before, which might be useful if this is your first time.
We will also be running a couple of fundraisers, our fabulous Lucky Dip (£1 a go) and our legendary Gin Raffle (£1 a ticket) We will also be running a DeStash table. If you have crafting items to donate to our DeStash table please do bring, remember one person’s destash is another person’s treasure! So do bring along some cash, or we do have a card machine if that is easier, happy to tap for any amount!
And finally we will play a couple of games of our infamous Yarn Bingo game, but with a Christmas twist, you will not want to miss this!
During the Hugathon we will attempt to get as many 6 inch squares made. Hopefully for Chernobyl 26 but this needs confirming. We will provide all SSDK, but please remember to bring your 4mm hooks/knitting needles, you will need them! We will also be making pompom decorations for our woolly Christmas tree.
We have access to hot water for drinks, and will provide the wherewithal for making tea and coffee for a donation. We are planning mulled wine and mince pies. Bring a packed lunch, snacks and drinks.
