We are excited to host our first ever Christmas in July event here at The Stitchery Studio. It’s a brilliant way to get a jump start on your festive project for the year and we have a gorgeous schedule of classes for the week to get you inspired and busy!

This listing is for a full week’s ticket, starting with a two-day class with Ali Ferguson at The Purple Thread Shed on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th July, ending with an embroidery class with Nicki Franklin on Thursday 31st July.

The classes will be available to book separately soon but for now we wanted to make a special price available for those who intend to come along for the full week of activities.

The schedule is as follows:

Thursday 24th July - 6pm - 8.30pm drinks meet and greet at the studio for those staying over.

Friday 25th and Saturday 26th July - Kitchen Tales (Christmas edition) with Ali Ferguson (starter fabric pack provided)

Sunday 27th July - Christmas Cross Stitch Sampler with Sarah (The Stitchery Sisters) (full kit provided using hand-dyed linen threads)

Monday 28th July - Calico and Stitch new Christmas Appliqué design (starter fabric pack provided)

Tuesday 29th July - Calico and Stitch new Christmas Appliqué design (starter fabric pack provided)

Wednesday 30th July - World Embroidery Day Celebration at the studio - free stitch day with buffet lunch and mini project

Thursday 31st July - Preparing for Christmas - Elf Embroidery with Nicki Franklin (NEW DESIGN) - full kit provided

It will be a busy and happy week with Christmas decorations, food and (a little) music to make merry and have fun.

Full details will be provided nearer the time and individual class bookings will open up on 14th February.

Booked individually the classes would be £550 - the listing of £495 represents good value for money and, as week-long visitors, you can expect some optional evening plans too.

We recommend The World’s End Pub just down the road for affordable and convenient accommodation. Please call the pub and quote The Stitchery to obtain their best prices.
