Knit + Stitch Harrogate 2026: textile craft show, 19 to 22 November at Harrogate Convention Centre

The show runs for four days and brings makers together under one roof for crafting, learning and shopping. It is the event formerly known as The Knitting & Stitching Show: the organiser has shortened the name to Knit + Stitch and updated the branding, while the content of the show stays as before.

On the show floor, more than 150 exhibitors sell supplies for textile crafts. The range covers fabrics, sewing machines and patterns as well as yarn, embroidery materials and cross-stitch kits, so visitors can stock up for a next project in one place.

Learning is a large part of the programme. More than 200 craft classes are scheduled across the four days, pitched at levels from complete beginner to experienced maker. The Live Stage hosts talks, demonstrations and catwalks by sewing and knitting experts, and these sessions are free to attend.

The Textile Galleries present exhibitions by textile artists from across the UK and are included in the show ticket. The 2026 gallery line-up includes Ali Pickard, Alice Fox, Divya Sharma, Jahnavi Inniss, JPR Stitch and Tyreis Holder, the exhibition Beyond Technique, the artist group Prism and an Embroiderers' Guild exhibition.

Opening hours are 10:00 to 17:30 from Thursday to Saturday and 10:00 to 16:00 on Sunday (GMT). Entry is by ticket: during general release, an adult one-day ticket costs £19.95 plus a £4.25 transaction fee charged once per order (£24.20 for a single ticket), and general release pricing is valid until 8 November 2026. Children under 5 do not need a ticket; visitors aged 5 to 18 need a child ticket.

The merchandise desks and workshop bookings are cashless (card or contactless payment only), although some exhibitors still take cash. Harrogate station is a seven-minute walk from the venue and has direct LNER services from London KX.
