As with all festivals of this type, not all vendors accept cards, so be prepared!

We love 4-legged friends but this venue is assistance dogs only, sorry!

Travelling to the festival:   if you are driving we encourage car sharing, not only is it green but you have more fun if traveling with yarny friends!

The nearest railway station is Chelford, but there are also railway stations at Knutsford, Alderley Edge, Wilmslow, Mobberley and Macclesfield.

The number 27 bus travels from Macclesfield, through Chelford to Knutsford (passing the 3 railway stations)  and has a bus stop on the Chelford Road, by the church, only a stone’s throw from the venue.

Make a weekend of it:   there is so much to see in and around the locality.  Plenty of stately homes – Tatton Park, Gawsworth Hall, Arley Hall to name a few.  And lots of interesting places to visit;  Jodrell Bank is a must for the scientific minded!
