Bakewell Wool Gathering is a two-day festival dedicated to wool, yarn, fibres, and their related crafts. 2018 is our sixth year. You can read more information here.

You can use our contact form here. We're also on Facebook and that's one of the fastest ways of getting in touch.

Applications open in November each year and close in January. We advertise here on the website and also announce through Facebook.

You can buy tickets on the day, in cash or using card. We can accept contactless cards. Alternatively, you may want to book online using Paypal. The price is the same, but there will be a priority queue for people who have already paid.

No, but you will receive email confirmation of your booking. You can bring this with you, but we will have a list of everyone who has already paid.

Bakewell Agricultural Centre has an on site cafe serving food and drinks. The Centre is also only a five minute walk into the centre of Bakewell, where there are plenty of places to eat.

Guide dogs and other support dogs are welcome in the Centre. Unfortunately, other dogs are not allowed inside, but there is plenty of space to walk them on the surrounding land. Your wristband on entry will allow you to come and go as you need to, if you need to go outside to attend to your dog. We understand this is disappointing but due to several incidents in the past couple of years we do need to enforce this policy for the safety of dogs and humans alike.

Bakewell Agricultural Centre has an on site cafe for refreshments and there is also free Wi-Fi. The parking is Pay & Display. There is no cash machine, but the Centre is only a few minutes walk into Bakewell where there are ATMs and other shops.

There is a car park at Bakewell Agricultural Centre and several others around Bakewell. All are Pay & Display and must be paid using cash. Costs were over £5 for the full day in 2017. We are aware that sometimes the Pay & Display machines are broken or slow but unfortunately we don't have any control over these, although we do contact Derbyshire Dales Council so they have the opportunity to fix the machines ahead of time.

Bakewell is on the A6, midway between Buxton to the north and Matlock to the south. The Centre's postcode for Sat Nav is DE45 1AH. When you get to Bakewell, it is clearly signposted.
