Subject, of course, to unexpected delays, cancellations etc, Festival of Quilts 2021 is planned for 29 July - 1 August.
Tickets from 17 May (10 May for QG members).

More info here https://www.thefestivalofquilts.co.uk/

There are new categories for the competitions this year, including a novice section - for complete beginners, not experienced sewists who have taken up p&q but for those who have taken up sewing to do p&q - so fewer excuses now...

Visitor and exhibitor numbers are going to be limited and apparently they are using 4 halls instead of the usual 3 so aisles will be wider. More details are available in the link below:

I was hoping to go at some stage... this year might not be a good idea.

Come on Thursday, @RJR_38 .  Then you can join the great TSP meet-up.  Would be lovely to meet you. 

And you, @Sakar , but maybe not this year.
