The Festival of Quilts at the NEC – for all of you who enjoy needlework and stitching.
The Festival of Quilts was launched in 2003 in partnership with The Quilters’ Guild as a hub for people from all over the world to come together and share their passion for quilting.
20 years on and it’s now the biggest quilting show in Europe, featuring workshops, talks, demos, Textile Galleries from world-renowned artists, one of the world’s largest quilt competitions, a huge range of quilt materials, 200+ brands to shop from, and so much more!
Across the industry, venues and coach operators have seen a sharp drop in day trip bookings due to the Cost-of-Living Crisis.
Cancellations and rollovers are never ideal, so to avoid disappointment we’re introducing waiting lists – just as we do successfully for Highgrove and Highclere.
From now on, we’ll ‘propose’ trips and invite you to join a waiting list. Once enough interest is registered, we’ll confirm the trip and if you’ve registered your interest, you’ll be given priority booking before a trip is widely advertised.
You can also suggest new ideas to us and we’ll see if there is enough interest to run it as a trip.
All proposed trips will appear on our website, where you can quickly register your interest. The sooner you do, the sooner we can plan.
We’ll email you occasionally with updates on trips nearing viable numbers and any new suggestions added to the list so it’s important we have your email address
