About The Show
2026 will tbe the thirs yeard for The Great British Fibre Festival. The show is brought to you by Stitch Fest Craft Shows - the team responsible for Stitch Fest, which is the largest yarn show in the South West, now in its 10th year.
​
TGBFF aims to bring you the absolute best in British yarn and fibre, plus associated haberdashery and notions, with the focus on ethical production and business. We will be looking at how sustainable fibres and local production can benefit us all. Thanks to our fantastic heritage venue, Coldharbour Mill, we will take a look back at the past and celebrate the rich culture around natural fibre production in this country.
​
TGBFF is a great day out for all the family. Over the weekend, we will see Coldharbour Mill in full production under electric power. This year, we have chosen only for the mill to run on electric power and not have a steam day due to the very high costs of coal but below you can see a fascinating video of the mill on a steam-up day.
