Bournville Crafty Bees

Calling all knitters, crocheters & felters – Corby Pole Fair needs you! We want to adorn one of the floral arches at Corby Pole Fair 2022 with your handiwork and St John the Baptist Church, Corby will be leading a town-wide call to get crafty in the lead-up to the fair on June 3rd.

We need lots of your home-crafted flowers. They can be any colour, any size, and any pattern. They can be knitted, crocheted, felt or any other textile flower creations you can think of. But we need lots of them to start to build a spectacular archway that will welcome people to the fair.
