I am sorry to say that I have to inform everyone that due to illness the British Wool Show will not be able to take place this year. Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years.
As I have news in the future about 2021 I will write another message.
Best wishes to all our exhibitors and visitors

A message for all our visitors who will be travelling to the show by the Shuttle bus.
I have just been informed that Leeman Road is closed for road works. You will now be able to catch the Shuttle Bus from just outside the Railway Station. There will be a sign on the bus to let visitors know that it is the bus to the show, and there will be Bunting trimming the bus, so it should be easy to recognise. The bus time table will still be the same.
