Wool Weekend

Discover the rich history of wool - from its origins to its modern-day uses. See live demonstrations of traditional wool and fibre trades and crafts, including blade shearing, fleece preparation, yarn spinning, knitting, felting and dyeing. Enjoy historical displays, meet the sheep and take part in interactive storytelling, hands on activities and fun craft workshops.

Take in the crisp winter air, hear the crack of the cannon firing on Saturday and be sure to visit the Tea Rooms over the weekend for a warm and hearty treat—sip on a comforting hot drink, enjoy a steaming mug of house-made soup, or dig into a classic shepherd’s pie.

Many of the exhibiting craftspeople will have handmade woolen goods available for purchase, including apparel, accessories, and décor.

Wool Weekend is a 2 day event which runs from 11am - 3pm on Saturday 12th & Sunday 13th July and forms part of the Flagstaff Hill winter school holiday program.
