- **Event Name**: Woolly Weekender 2026
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 23 Jan, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Tue, 27 Jan, 2026 at 10:30 am
- **Event Description**: What's it all about? The WW was started way back in times before Covid, by The Secret Crocheter and me, as a bit of hoot, to make new friends, to have a weekend at the seaside, to learn new skills.... It's evolved into a bunch of lovely folk going to a lovely hotel at the seaside all at the same time, with nothing formal organised. Some of us are going Friday to Monday, some Friday to Sunday, some Saturday to Monday and some of us are going Saturday to Tuesday! We will have a semi-formal three-course dinner on the Sunday night if you want to join in with that too. Come on your own or with pals, bring non-woolly partners (three non-woolly husbands came last year), whoever! 

I've negotiated a rate of £74 per room per night bed & breakfast (whether it's single or double occupancy, so you can bunk up with a pal and share the cost, or not ? ). If you want a sea view it's another £20 per night. Dogs are allowed, there is a fee on top of the room rate but you'd need to talk to the hotel about that when you book. Dinner on Sunday is £24.50 per person which is a flippin' bargain, the food has always been excellent. We do have to choose in advance but that's never been a problem and it means we all get to eat together. We have free parking for the duration which saves you £20 a day (spend it on your sea view instead ? ).

The Orangery is ours exclusively for all day on Sunday and we'll get one round of tea/coffee served. I've had to pay £75 myself for that which is fine but if you feel like popping something into a kitty towards it, that would be even finer ? 

If you want to car-share, you'll need to organise that amongst yourselves but I'm happy to pass on contact details. 

Where: The Best Western Carlton Hotel, East Cliff, Bournemouth. I'll put some photos in another post. 

When: Last full weekend in January 2026 - Friday 23rd to Tuesday 27th. Come for all of it or some of it. I'm going after work on Saturday and leaving on Tuesday morning. 

How: Ring or e-mail the events manager at the hotel, Kelly O'Shea - her number is  01202 544118 and her e-mail is Kelly.Oshea@bournemouthcarltonhotel.co.uk  

You may, of course, do your own thing re booking. For instance last year we booked during the Black Friday deals which was a bit cheaper than they've given us now BUT there are no clues whatsoever what the deals will be this year AND they sold out very quickly. 

If you do book, it'd be great if you could let me know so I can make sure you get all the information about dinner and any "specials" ?

Finally, any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me. Have I forgotten anything? If I have, I'll post it later!
