For the first time, the Selvedge Fair travels to Pendle in Lancashire, an area that is shaped by textiles. The fair is part of Fabrications, the UK's first festival that celebrates and explores textiles and the textile industry through the eyes of artists.
The Selvedge Fair in Pendle will bring together a curated collection of makers and merchants and is an opportunity to meet makers, catch up with friends and find that special something. Visitors can also take part in one of the complimentary workshops, details below.
The fair will take place in the 17th century Park Hill Barn at the Pendle Heritage Centre. Set within the Pendle Forest, the Centre is part of an ancient textile settlement dating back to the 13th century. The vernacular buildings of Pendle Forest have been conserved by the Heritage Centre and form one of the Heritage Trust for the North West's flagship projects.
See the Centre’s museum, which tells the story of its former residents. Relax with a cup of tea or delicious lunch at the Centre’s tea room. Enjoy a trip to nearby Gawthorpe Hall to see the Shuttleworth Collection (featured in Selvedge 59). Wander through the 18th century walled garden or follow in the footsteps of the Lancashire Witches on their four mile walk to Lancaster castle.
Pendle Heritage Centre is situated a mile from Junction 12 of the M65; follow the brown signs. Parking is available on Colne Road, opposite the main entrance.
