Members of the public are invited to join in the celebrations by adding their thoughts and sketches to a continuum board, putting a stitch to a wall hanging and taking part in a knitting demonstration.

The event will be in St Stephen's Church, High Street, Exeter, from 10am-4pm on June 12 and 13, and 10am-3pm on June 14.

Admissiion is free and there will be a small charge for tea/coffee and home made cake.
