What a great venue we’ve found for our southernmost World Textile Day – here in the lovely New Forest village of Brockenhurst. We’re settled in nicely now, and lovin’ it here. The textile enthusiasts of Hampshire, the New Forest and even Wiltshire have given us a very hearty welcome. We’ve even had visitors travel here all the way from London! To get you in the mood, here are some pix from previous World Textile Days.
