Tickets to Fibre-East
Fibre-East is an annual two-day event held in Ampthill for enthusiasts of British wool and natural fibres.

This year Fibre-East will be taking place during the weekend of 26th and 27th July 2014. When Fibre-East decided to hold a series of workshops for the very first time, they certainly didn’t hold back when it came to selecting the tutors. Over the course of the weekend they will be welcoming tutors from America, including Deb Robson, Abby Franquemont, Sara Lamb and Sarah Anderson as well as well-known UK tutors, who will be running a variety of workshops. We’re giving away ten pairs of tickets! For more details of the event, go to www.fibre-east.co.uk
