It all began with a leap of faith and a desire to create a very friendly, welcoming yarn festival, here in Bristol. In May 2025and 2026, The Big Flock happened and was a big success!

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!!

Hello, just want to thank you SO much. I came back again this year after loving last year and once again it was wonderful - your traders were all so lovely, such a great range of products, so engaged and friendly and happy and above all the venue/ set up is so wheelchair accessible - I absolutely loved it! You've created a wonderful event.
