The Great Woolly Hugs’ Hugathon. Brighton Seafront. Saturday 30th January 2027
The Great Woolly Hugs’ Hugathon at Brighton takes place on Saturday 30th January 2027 between 11.00am and 3.30pm, at the beautiful Regency Brighton Harbour Hotel, which is right on Brighton’s world-famous and iconic promenade and is within easy walking distance of both piers, just a stone’s throw away from the glorious pebbled beach. There is no obligation to walk along the pier, but you might want to, bring big jumpers if so! And if anyone wants to swim, you are bonkers but we’d look after your stuff!!!!
Our Venue is fully accessible. There are accessible bathroom facilities.
TICKETS COST £22 EACH
Tickets on sale from Sunday 1st November at 7pm
It is an increase on our 2026 price, and we have held out doing this as long as possible, first increase in three years, but all venues are having to increase their prices, which impacts us. Apologies for this. The price includes event swag and we hope that you think the Hugathon is still good value.
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.
There is a bar onsite, open from noon, so it is totally up to you what you do about catering for the day. We are unable to make provision, so you might want to bring a flask, drinks, packed lunch etc. But as an example a cappuccino from the bar costs £4.95, a pot of tea is £3.50, pint of Peroni Nastro Azzurro is £7 and Aperol Spritz is £13. Obviously there are coffee shops around too which is always an option.
During the Hugathon we will attempt to get as many 6 inch squares made. In Brighton we are focussing on our Chernobyl 2027 project. We will provide all SSDK, but please remember to bring your 4mm hooks/knitting needles, you will need them! Palette at the bottom of this page.If you have any squares already made for THIS project, please bring them, it may be that we can get some kits out for construction. The link for the project is below.
We will also be running a rather fabulous Lucky Dip (£1 a go) and our legendary Gin Raffle (£1 a ticket) So do bring along some cash, or we do have a card machine if that is easier, happy to tap for any amount! Whilst this is primarily a meet up we always need to raise funds! And finally we will play a couple of games of our infamous Yarn Bingo game, you will not want to miss this! Well, you might want to but you can’t! Haha!
Do join us, we’d love to meet you or see you again. And if you are worried about not knowing anyone, let us know and we can get you seated and chatting as quick as a flash.
