Yarndale Opportunities
Championing the brilliance and versatility of wool, our award-winning festival is a show for everyone interested in making. Over the last weekend of September Yarndale brings together a splendid variety of exhibitors with yarny stuff to sell and thousands of visitors, who come to browse, squish and buy yarn to make.
There are many opportunities to get involved in the show. Yarndale 2026 takes place on 26th and 27th September 2026 at Skipton Auction Mart. Please see below – we’d love you to join us!

Volunteering at Yarndale
The show couldn’t happen without the support of our fantastic team of volunteers. If you’re interested in volunteering with us this year, we offer morning or afternoon shifts on both days.
We are looking for people to assist at the entrances, welcoming visitors, directing to the right place, handing out brochures; to help in The Gather and shops and of course everyone will be briefed to be able to provide general information answering questions from our visitors.
If you would like to get involved, please email Kate at [email protected]. Thank you!
