SUMMARY:The Great Woolly Hugs’ Hugathon\, Edinburgh. Saturday 4th October 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Great Woolly Hugs’ Hugathon in Edinburgh takes place on Saturday 4th October 2025 between 11.00am and 3.30pm\, at St Columba’s by the Castle Church Hall in central Edinburgh\, just off the Royal Mile\, close to Edinburgh Castle. Hopefully this year without Charles and Camilla gatecrashing! \nOur Venue is fully accessible. Access to the venue is via a gentle and wheelchair-friendly ramp from the street pavement and there is a lift to the level of the hall and garden area downstairs. There are accessible bathroom facilities. \nTickets cost £20 each. On Sale from 7pm from March 1st 2025.\nOur Hugathons are a wonderful opportunity to meet fellow Woolly Huggers who share a love of crafting.They are very 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. \nDuring the Hugathon we will attempt to get as many 6 inch squares made. In Edinburgh we are focussing on our Snug Project.   We will provide all SSDK\, but please remember to bring your 4mm hooks/knitting needles\, you will need them! If you have any squares already made for THIS project ONLY\, please bring them\, it may be that we can get some kits out for construction. \nWe will also be running a rather 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! \nAnd finally we will play our Yarn Bingo game\, you will not want to miss this! \nWe have use of the kitchen area\, and will provide the wherewithal for making tea and coffee for a donation. Bring a packed lunch\, snacks and drinks\, we won’t judge if that is alcohol! \nWe will be flying to Edinburgh so will be unable to take any completed treasure home\, apologies for this\, we have limited luggage allowance. \n \nDo 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.\n\nA wonderful experience meeting friends and like minded people. Like sinking into a warm bath of friendship I’ve always known but never met before. Jen \nA fabulous day meeting ‘strangers’ I have known online for years. Sharing yarn\, craft skills\, cake and laughter. Returning home full of love for the wonderful Woolly Huggers! Jo \nIt was lovely to meet all the folk I have made virtual friends with online . It gave me a real sense of us working together helping to make something beautiful and worthwhile . It was also lovely for the chat \, laughter and to admire the amazing craftmanship going on around me \, and how everyone was happy to share their expertise Steph \nThe hugathon is where the WH virtual community crosses over into a face to face community\, meeting others who you may have got to know online. It’s so lovely to be able to sit and work and natter together\, comparing notes and making friends. It epitomises the spirit of WH\, crafters working together to benefit others.
