This January, WOVEN Curator Nat Walton and Julia Roebuck, Director of Thread Republic CIC and Upcycle Fashion, attended
Why Power? For WOVEN 2027, we’ve chosen a theme that’s broad enough to inspire creativity and is open
WOVEN is a biennial festival that began in 2019, the last festival took place in summer 2025.
It is initiated by Kirklees Council, but is owned by everyone, including community groups, textile businesses, cultural and educational organisations, artists and heritage sites across the district.
WOVEN’s theme is generations of innovators, connecting a strong heritage with today’s innovative developments in industry, university research, a strong arts and crafts scene and the creative expression of the district’s rich and diverse communities.
Whilst a big festival event will happen in June every other year, there will also be long term projects and smaller events happening in between.
Sign up to our mailing list below to be kept up to date on events and ways to get involved.
Many of the projects and events that happen through WOVEN create talks, workshops/demonstrations, films, and information resources.
You can find them all in the Resources Section of the website
