Do you have a passion for yarn, textiles, patchwork, embroidery, or dressmaking? Perhaps you simply love to get lost in the age-old pastime of browsing while surrounded by stunningly handmade creations? Then grab your calendar and mark off Thursday 13th until Sunday 16th of November, and make sure you grab your tickets in advance for the Knit + Stitch Show Northern Ireland.
Promising four fun-filled days of shopping, learning, inspiration, and sheer crafty delight, the eagerly anticipated return of the Knit + Stitch Show will once again take place in the Eikon Exhibition Centre in Lisburn.
Early bird tickets are on sale right now and will be available until Sunday 2nd of November, which offers the best value for money option. 2024’s Knit + Stitch Show had completely sold out on Thursday and Friday, so booking in advance will be the only way to guarantee entry to this fantastic series of events.
As for what you can expect to see and experience over the four days, 2025’s Knit + Stitch show will be bringing together over one hundred of the very best craft and textile exhibitors from all over the island of Ireland and beyond, with a massively varied selection of goods to choose from, including yarns, fabrics, embellishments, books, tools, and patterns.

Additionally, there will be over 150 workshops and classes available to take part in, which will cater to any and all skill levels, so it doesn’t matter if you’re a complete novice looking for somewhere to start your creative journey, or the most experienced maker who is simply looking to master the most advanced techniques, there is a place here for you. As well as this, visitors can also sit back and enjoy love demonstrations and talks from the Live Stage, where expert makers will reveal some of their favourite practical tips, as well as some very handy insider tricks of the trade!
Knit + Stitch 2025 is also looking to put a spotlight on all kinds of artistic inspiration, which is why this year’s event will showcase some of the incredible work being created by select leading artists who are actively blurring the lines between craft and fine art, and these pieces will be viewable at the magnificent textile galleries.
Wearable creations will come to life on the K+S Catwalk, which will highlight some highly imaginative and thought-provoking pieces, including some from the acclaimed Junk Kouture project. Of course, they are not the only big new exhibitors on display this year, as the 2025 line-up will also include the likes of Black Sheep, Fantastic Ribbons, Italian Buttons, and What The Fabric?, with even more impressive names yet to be announced, which fully follows through on the organisers of Knit + Stitch’s promise that this year’s event would be bigger and better than ever.
Another big first this year: the debut of the Knit Lounge, hosted by Inspiring Yarns, where visitors can discover innovative knitting and crochet ideas, explore exciting new products, and learn the basics of knitting and crochet. There will also be a dedicated Yarn Village, which will put the focus on some local, independent yarn dyers and producers, and there will also be a unique festive twist at this year’s event, as the new Knitted and Crocheted Christmas Jumper Competition, which will all crafters the opportunity to show off their most creative seasonal designs!
With all of these things to see and do, naturally, you’ll be needing some downtime in between, so visitors can head towards the Prosecco Bar, where you can unwind and exchange your personal highlights of the shows so far with friends and fellow craft-lovers.
If you’re wondering how to get there, drivers can take advantage of the free on-site parking, with the Eikon Exhibition Centre just 15 minutes away from Belfast, conveniently located just off the M1 motorway.
