World Textile Day West

03 October 2026
Saltford Hall, Wedmore Rd, Saltford, Bristol, BS31 3BY
When we brought our first World Textile Day West to Saltford in 2014, we had no idea what a great venue we’d found. Our hosts the Saltford Community Association couldn’t be more enthusiastic. And as a bonus, Saltford prides itself in being a ‘fair trade village’ – a perfect fit for our fair trade ethos. Expect textiles, clothing, crafts, jewellery and more, as well as the usual delicious refreshments!
