About The Festival of Quilts

Opening Hours: 10.00am to 5.30pm (closes 5pm Sunday)
The Festival of Quilts (organised with the support of the Quilters Guild of the British Isles) has earned a reputation over the past ten years as the largest, most inspiring quilting event in Europe!
The Festival of Quilts is not just an exhibition. We offer a host of gallery exhibitions from leading international artists and groups; we display around 1,000 quilts entered into competition and we offer the largest range of patchwork & quilting supplies under one roof than any other event with over 300 companies selling unique, hard-to-find patchwork and quilting supplies!
