Events

Part of the Knitting & Crochet Guild’s purpose is to promote and champion knitting and crochet whenever and wherever we can.

The Guild takes part in a variety of national and local shows and events around the country and we also promote other shows, displays and events of interest to those interested in the crafts we love.

Events are listed in date order below. You can also see events as a calendar.
