It all began with a leap of faith and a desire to create a very friendly, welcoming yarn festival, here in Bristol. In May 2025, The Big Flock happened and was a big success!

Such a friendly, joyful, yarnilicious show. Big thanks to all concerned

It was a great space for wheelchair users like me and everyone was so kind, friendly and helpful, punters and vendors alike. And to have it on my doorstep was fantastic!!

I came yesterday and I loved this new festival🔥The atmosphere was great and the class I took with @zaneteknits was awesome😍 I hope the festival will return next year . Thank you for the Incredible organisation👏
