The Great British Wool Revival Summit: From Clip to Consumer – Education Day
Date: 19 May 2026 (Educational Day)
We are delighted to present The Great British Wool Revival Summit, taking place at Dumfries House, Scotland, in May 2026. This educational event will be delivered in two identical sessions—one in the morning and one in the afternoon—offering attendees flexibility to choose the time that best suits their availability.
Timings:
Morning session: 9.15am–12.15pm
Afternoon session: 1.15pm–4.15pm
Each session will bring together students from colleges and universities alongside members of the public for panel discussions, presentations, and practical fleece‑to‑fibre demonstrations. The programme is designed to enhance understanding of regional wool and its use across education, creative practice, and industry.
The Summit also celebrates the success of The Great British Wool Revival project, launched in 2024. Developed through the Future Textiles initiative, the platform has helped to reconnect a fragmented supply chain—from farmer to designer—supporting best practice and Made in the UK principles from field to final product.

This event is aimed at the public and those within education.
