Crafty Sewing Camp is a three-day event where you get the opportunity to re-live the classic school camp experience while immersing yourself in a friendly, supportive social, and learning experience. The main focus will be on sewing, with free sewing time throughout the weekend in well-equipped sewing rooms. There will also be a variety of short masterclasses and workshops to attend, bookable after purchasing your camp ticket.
(I enjoyed) " being able to just sit and sew - no cooking, washing-up, laundry, emails etc. It was lovely to have the sewing room doors open to enjoy the fabulous weather. Meeting new people as well as spending time with my friends. The venue was wonderful, lots of overall space. "

Endless Sewing Time
The sewing rooms open on Friday and stay open all weekend long! Bring your sewing machine, settle into your workspace, and enjoy uninterrupted sewing in a friendly, social environment.
Delicious Meals
Enjoy a variety of meals throughout the weekend, including breakfasts, buffet-style lunches and hot buffet dinners, plus tea and coffee available throughout the day. All dietary needs are catered for, ensuring everyone stays well-fed and happy.
Pub Quiz Night
Friday night kicks off with a fun and relaxed Pub Quiz Evening, the perfect way to break the ice and get to know your fellow campers. Gather your team, test your trivia skills, and enjoy a night of laughs, friendly competition, and a great start to the weekend!
Market Place
Explore our Sewing Marketplace, featuring a selection of small sewing businesses offering beautiful fabrics, unique sewing patterns, buttons, and more. It’s the perfect chance to shop for special supplies, support independent makers, and find inspiration for your next project!
Community Art Project
Throughout the weekend, join in on our Community Art Project, a creative way to capture memories from Crafty Sewing Camp. Last year, we began a beautiful quilted wall hanging using remnants from our weekend projects, filled with stories and shared experiences. This year’s project will be revealed closer to the event, but one thing’s for sure—it will be a special keepsake of our time together!
Swaps Table
Visit the Swaps Table, where campers can give new life to unwanted fabrics, patterns, and sewing supplies by passing them on to fellow sewists. It’s a fantastic way to recycle, refresh your stash, and discover hidden gems—all while keeping sewing sustainable!
Themed Party Night
This year’s party theme is Film Favorites, where guests can step into the spotlight dressed as their favorite movie star or iconic film character. Whether you channel Hollywood glamour, classic cinema legends, or beloved blockbuster heroes, get ready for a night of fun, film-inspired festivities, and plenty of red carpet moments!
Retro Dorms
For those staying overnight, the dorms offer a fun throwback to classic summer camp. While basic, they’re the perfect place to bond with new sewing friends—and there’s even a competition for the best-decorated dorm! Bring your bunting and fairy lights for a cozy setup.
