Threads Textile Festival 2025 – 17-18 May 2025
17 May @ 10:00 am – 18 May @ 4:00 pm
The Guild has a stall in the Marketplace at this year’s Threads Textile Festival.
In addition, there will be an exhibition of items from the Collection in Room 20 on the second floor of the Spinning Mill. This is accessible by lift. As this area is also used for talks, access to the exhibition is limited to:
- Saturday: 10 am – 11 am; 12 noon – 3 pm.
- Sunday: 10 am – 2 pm; 3 pm – 4 pm.
Sunny Bank Mills’ annual Threads Textile Festival is back for its third year – celebrating textiles through a series of talks, workshops and a market featuring 50+ textile stalls each day.
The Textile Market is open 10am – 4pm on Saturday 17th & Sunday 18th May | £4 on the door (under 12s free).
Explore free exhibition and drop-in sessions, and meet with members from various textile Guilds and community groups on the 3rd floor of the 1912 Mill.
Please note – the venue of Threads Textile Fair is on the first floor of the 1912 Mill, which is accessed via one flight of stairs or a wheelchair accessible lift. We will have attendants on hand to offer assistance. If you have any queries, please email natalie@sunnybankmills.co.uk.
The fair will be loud and busy at times, but areas of the Mills, including the Gallery and Tea Room will be open throughout the weekend for a more relaxed shopping and seating experience.
Free parking, included limited accessible parking is available around the Mill site and on Farsley Town Street.
If you need any assistance throughout the weekend, find a Mill Host in a pink hi vis vest, or visit the information point outside the 1912 Mill for support.
Assistance dogs are permitted.
