KENDAL Wool Gathering, the annual celebration of the town’s connections to the trade on which its wealth was built, promises to be the biggest and best yet.

A record number of stalls selling products based on the South Lakeland town’s motto Wool is Our Bread have already booked for the fourth KWG, to be held at K Village on October 29 and 30.

In a new development KWG is also organising for the same weekend a Wool School at Kirkbie Kendal School.

Trainers of all crafts linked to the wool trade are being invited to run workshops. Activities may include spinning, weaving, knitting, felting or similar.

Anyone interested in running sessions or booking for any particular craft skill are now being asked to register at www.kendalwoolgathering.co.uk
