Now here is a quirky event. Woolfest, a celebration of all things wool is coming back to Cumbria in June. The off the wall event, showcases the best of wool and wool based products, with a focus on creativity and design. On display for the public will be an assortment of well-crafted products produced to the finest standards using only wool. The unique assortment of colours and tapestries that combine to create some of the products on show, is a sight to behold. The event also offers attendees a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with the makers of these products so they can find out more about the process by which the wool-based items were produced.
This is no small event. Woolfest is renowned for its fun and lighthearted warmth, so much so it was recognised in 2012 by the Cumbrian tourist board and won the Cumbria Tourism Event of the Year Award.
