It’s woolly, it’s mammoth - it’s the North West biggest crafting event
TexStyle is Manchester’s unmissable craft festival.
It’s coming to Manchester Central on Saturday 14 March and Sunday 15 March 2026.
For the first time, hobbyists, makers and crafters can celebrate the joy of creating right here in the North West.
The event showcases inspirational independent makers and creatives.
From knitting and embroidery to weaving and spinning, this is the ultimate day out for crafty folk.
There are workshops and demonstrations featuring Tunisian crochet, Mountmellick hand embroidery, kwandi patchwork and more.
Learn a new skill or hone your techniques. There are activities for all skill levels.
Upgrade your crafty essentials. Browse everything from hand-dyed wool to cross-stitch kits. So if you can’t find crochet hooks on the high street or you prefer to buy alpaca yarn in person, browsing colours and getting a feel for the product, TexStyle is for you.
If you’re a crafting pro and you’d like to get involved, you can find out more about having your own stand here.
Turn your experience into a family day out. Buy a ticket and you can upgrade to include a special cream tea – perfect idea for a Mother’s Day gift.
Both day and weekend tickets are available so book yours now. The most popular workshops are already filling up fast and some have already sold out.
Don’t miss out.
