Creative Exhibitions Ltd organise the principal public exhibitions in textiles within the UK and Ireland and have established this reputation after 20 years of staging consistently challenging, successful events.

All the events comprise a mix that brings together commercial supplies, a vast workshop programme and the most comprehensive range of galleries highlighting all aspects of needlecraft. Competitions, awards and other innovative ideas complete the mix.

In total, Creative Exhibitions stage six exhibitions each year.

The Knitting and Stitching Show is staged in Birmingham, Alexandra Palace (London), Dublin and Harrogate during the autumn. This event embraces every aspect of needlecraft and is regarded as the definitive event in the field. Over 130,000 individuals participate in this key event.

The Festival of Quilts is a genuinely international exhibition staged annually at the NEC in Birmingham and attracts just under 30,000 visitors from over 50 countries. There is a strong residential nature to this event with many people choosing to spend 2, 3 or even 4 days.

Finally, Stitch and Craft (Olympia, London) takes a simple needlework and knitting focus and also introduces related or complementary craft skills such as card making or scrapbooking.

Creative Exhibitions also stage conferences and symposia.

The definitive needlecraft event in the UK; excellent shopping for the enthusiast and great inspiration for the non-stitcher. Plus hundreds of workshops and beautiful galleries from leading textile artists.
