2 Weeks Until Craft Festival Wales

August 23, 2024

Hello!

I hope this finds you very well?

The Festival banners are up around the town and excitement is building in the run up to the first Craft Festival at Cardigan Castle.

As well as meeting 80, carefully selected makers, there is also a programme of pre-bookable adult craft workshops provided by Make it in Wales. Professional makers, leading the workshops include:

Weave a basket with Llio James
Machine Embroidery with Suzi Parks
Jewellery Making with Maggie Cross
Bookbinding with Carole King
Needle Felting with Ruth Packham
Crochet using Cambrian wool with Nellie and Eve
Book your workshop place now online – places are limited.

We warmly welcome families and children to Craft Festival Wales.

There is a rich programme of free craft activities for children, and don’t forget that children under 18 are free to enter. We just ask that they come with at least 1 paying adult. There is no limit to how many children you can bring!

You can also enjoy some great Welsh hospitality whilst listening to excellent live music, storytelling and theatre performances.

See you in Cardigan from September 6-8th.

Best wishes,
Sarah James MBE
Festival Director
