If you're looking for a textile/stitch day out you may like:
'Beneath our Feet' - the Leah Higgins exhibition at Salford Art Gallery & Museum. It's on until 5 May and is well worth a visit. There's an excellent shop and a cafe. See the 26 January post for more details.
The Hebden Bridge WI Rag Market on Saturday, 27 April from 10.30am to 4pm. This bi-annual event is a mix of professional companies and people having a stash clearout.

The Manchester Antique Textile Fair on Sunday, 28 April from 10am to 4pm at The Armitage Centre in Fallowfield, Manchester. Entry is £8 on the door or you can book in advance online through Eventbrite.
Megastitchers will be there in the Showcase Gallery upstairs. Come and say 'hello'!
As well as displays of work, we'll be selling vintage magazines, books and some kits to make small panels. The magazines are 'Needlewoman & Needlecraft' (including the first two editions from early 1940) and 'Embroidery', the Embroiderers' Guild magazine, again including the first edition from 1932 and others from the 1930s to 1960s. We'll also have a display of some of the vintage threads advertised in the magazines.
