2026 Holidays
Overview
Discover our 2026 craft holiday collection, designed to enrich your skills and ignite your passion for traditional and contemporary crafts. If you’re looking to master the art of crochet amidst the serene landscapes of Malta or the rustic charm of West Yorkshire, or prefer to knit under the mesmerising Northern Lights on a special cruise, our holidays offer something for everyone.
Dive deeper into your craft with our longer-duration textile tours, discovering the vibrant cultures of Peru, Thailand or India. Each destination is chosen for its rich crafting history and will offer you the chance to engage deeply with local artisans and their age-old techniques. For those seeking a shorter getaway, our UK weekend retreats provide a perfect escape. Imagine completing your very own weekender bag in a sewing machine retreat – you’ll develop your skills alongside an expert and have a stylish creation to show off! What could be better?
So, start planning and get your next discovery in the calendar today…
