Help create a floral arch
Calling all knitters, crocheters & felters – Corby Pole Fair needs you!
We want to adorn one of the floral arches at Corby Pole Fair 2022 with your handiwork and St John’s Church will be leading a town-wide call to get crafty in the lead-up to the fair on June 3rd.
We need lots of your home-crafted flowers. They can be any colour, any size, and any pattern. They can be knitted, crocheted, felt or any other textile flower creations you can think of. But we need lots of them to start to build a spectacular archway that will welcome people to the fair.
Drop off your flowers
You can drop off flowers at Corby Library, Bella Knit or to the Church craft group at St John’s Church Hall, Corby High Street, NN17 1XF on any Tuesday evening between 7pm-9pm when their craft club meets.
Ask for Janet when you arrive and she will prepare your flowers for display. Please deliver all flowers no later than Tuesday 24th May.
If you would be interested in volunteering to assemble the flowers on the floral arch in the week leading up to Pole Fair please contact Tom Briggs at tom@madewithmany.org or call 01536 267895.
