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.
