Bower Roebuck: Behind the Scenes & Mending Workshop Tour

Bower Roebuck produce woven worsted fabrics from wool and natural blend fibres. The fabrics are sold to the world’s luxury fashion brands.

Join us for a one hour tour of the warping and weaving departments where you will see how yarn is prepared for weaving and then woven into a finished fabric. The tour will be run by employees working in the mill and there will be opportunities to ask questions about the processes seen.

This will be followed by a tour of the mending department, where you will get an opportunity to have a go at mending the cloth yourself. This is still done the traditional way, by hand with a needle and yarn. Good eyesight and patience is needed to be a good mender.
