Special guests Angeline Murphy from The Great British Sewing Bee and crochet designer, Eleonora Tully, captivated audiences with inspiring talks.
The festival was filled with interactive workshops, a bustling marketplace of craft stalls, live demonstrations by the Ulster Guild of Spinners, Weavers, and Dyers, and fun activities for all ages, including a Viking village and alpacas.
