This year's Stitch & Craft Show was better than ever; full of enthusiastic, and high focused visitors. The show brings together four distinct craft elements (stitching, knitting, cardmaking and scrapbooking) and whilst in previous years success had been clearly demonstrated in 3 out of 4 of them, this year all corners of the hall reported strong business.
By the time the event closed on Sunday night, the organisers were able to announce a 5% increase in attendance. Of greater importance, however, was the fact that, in difficult trading conditions, (and with doom and gloom a constant feature in the news), visitors had clearly come with specific purchases in mind. Business had proved brisk with the Saturday being a particular high point.
One enthusiastic tour group organiser, making her 10th visit to Stitch & Craft and coming all the way from Wales, declared this year's event the best ever! "A terrific show" she declared.
Regular exhibitors and visitors know that Creative Exhibitions (twistedthread) stage the very best events in the business, but, with a goodly number of new exhibitors coming into the mix for the first time, it was particularly important that Stitch and Craft proved a storming success. Exhibitor comments - noted below - demonstrate that the year has started well.

It's been a fabulous experience - our first time at Olympia. Great!

Great fun meeting our customers at this busy Show. The friendly and helpful staff at Creative Exhibitions made it a breeze to exhibit here - can't wait for next year!

This is our first Show and we've had lots of support from the organisers and contractors. We've met lots of exhibitors who have been very friendly and also lots of positive feedback from visitors. Can't wait for Ali Palli!!
