Purl and a Pint welcomes new members

Purl and a Pint invite you to find woolly inspiration at Stitch Fest at Newton Abbot Racecourse in early November, with exhibitors, workshops and plenty of cake. The group is also meeting as usual in Buckfastleigh and welcomes new members.

Need a bit of woolly inspiration as the evenings draw in? Purl and a Pint is meeting as usual at The Kings Arms, Buckfastleigh — new knitters, crocheters and stitchers are very welcome to pull up a chair and join us.

If you fancy an outing, the local yarn fair Stitch Fest is right on our doorstep with a wide range of exhibitors, friendly workshops, and plenty of tea and cake. It’s also a good place to pick up Christmas or birthday presents.

Dates: Saturday 1 November 2025 and Sunday 2 November 2025
Location: Newton Abbot Racecourse
Tickets: visit www.stitchfest.co.uk

Do check the website for workshop bookings and timings — and if you go, bring your finds along to our meet-ups for a bit of show-and-tell. We’d love to see what inspires you.
