King’s Sutton Millenium Memorial Hall, Astrop Rd, King’s Sutton, Banbury, OX17 3PG

FREE ENTRY to our exhibition and sale of fair trade textiles

Last year COVID forced us to cancel our popular World Textile Day in King’s Sutton. So this year it’s ‘all hands to the pumps’ to create a really great textile day out for our fans in Oxfordshire and environs. Back on the agenda… talks and onsite catering… marvellous! Below, some pix from past years.
