The Great British Wool Revival Summit: From Clip to Consumer - Industry Day
The Great British Wool Revival Summit: From Clip to Consumer
Date: 20 May 2026 (Industry Day)
We are delighted to present The Great British Wool Revival Summit, taking place at Dumfries House, Scotland, in May 2026. This dedicated industry day brings together farmers, manufacturers, designers, innovators, and creatives to exchange ideas, share best practice, and build meaningful connections around regional wool, textiles, craft, and regeneration.
The programme will offer a rich mix of panel discussions, interactive workshops, tabletop sessions, and on‑site farmyard demonstrations, creating engaging, hands‑on opportunities for knowledge exchange. A key feature of the day will be a curated farmer‑to‑maker matchmaking element, designed to strengthen collaboration and spark conversation across the supply chain—from fashion to furniture and homeware.
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 system from farmer to designer, supporting best practice and Made in the UK principles from field to final product, while also showcasing excellence from heritage wool practitioners.
Ticket guidance
The first release of tickets is available to an invite‑only guest list until 28th April 2026. Following this period, tickets will be opened to industry professionals seeking viable solutions for their wool. This includes those interested in developing a deeper understanding of British wool and its role within the wider industry, alongside opportunities for networking, collaboration, and shared values.
