Events

The Stroudwater Textile Trust holds events throughout the year which promote interest in, and awareness of, our wonderful local textile heritage. Some events are hosted by ourselves, others are run by our partners in the textile community. Watch out for classes, talks, walks, demonstrations and exhibitions.

Forthcoming events are listed on this page. Click on the button to book your place. If you want to visit one of our mill sites, click here.
