Is anyone going?
Exhibiting?
Want to meet up?

I know it's a bit far away, but I think it might be fun.

How do you register for a stall?
We could do it en masse!

If you go to woolfest.co.uk there is a form to fill out, with your application you need to send in proof of insurance of a minimum of £2,000,000 public liability insurance, also preferably a picture of your goods, then they decide if you can have a stall. I am applying personally as I want a full stand but there is nothing to stop people from applying together but you would need your insurance together aswell.

I`ll be going with my knitting-only friend, same as I did last year. As buyers, not sellers.

Last year we camped for three nights at a local campsite. The facilities were a bit basic (but very clean) and there were a lot of other Woolfestites there too, so very sociable. It meant we could have two days at the show. It would have been stressful to try to do it all in one short day plus we fancied the idea of a weekend away from the kids and husbands. There was so much to see and so many people to meet up with that one day wasn`t nearly enough.

I wouldn't mind having a stall Smile

I've been desperate to go to woolfest since it started but it's the same time as our local festival down here so I've never gone. I might make an exception this year though.

we camped aswell, I have young children, as does my friend, so both families camped together. This was great as it meant the men had the kids for the day while we had a day of shopping!! There was a really nice stone circle near our campsite, so we went to watch the sunset there one night, beautiful. The kids loved running around, met some fellow woolfester's there from the isle of man (i think?), could have been isle of white. definatley camping again next year. Such a beautiful location.

For those of you thinking of having a stall, are you able to take card payments? I don't want to hire a stall at a large festival/fair until I can accept cards, but when I've looked into it, it seems very expensive.

did you stay at the same campsite I stayed at? I can't think of the name but up the hill off the main road just near the stone circle, absolutely packed out all weekend.

I don't accept card payments, but I will take that risk, I may loose a few customers but on the whole a lot of people take cash with them
