Spring Holidays
Overview
Spring is the perfect time to take your creativity somewhere special – offering blossoming colour and fresh inspiration. As the landscapes thaw and come back to life, it’s an ideal moment to enjoy a change of scenery, connect with fellow crafters, and spend uninterrupted time doing what you love. Treat yourself to a crochet retreat in sun-dappled Malta, join a cosy weekend retreat right here in the UK, or experience the vibrant Madeira Flower Festival – the choice is yours!
