Wonderwool Wales is a celebration of wool and natural fibres.  From the sheep or other fibre producing animal, to the finished product ie. yarns and fibre used in many wool crafts such as knitting, crochet, weaving, spinning, dyeing and felting.

It is the largest show of its kind in Wales, the UK and Europe.

You can find raw fleece, hand-dyed yarns and fibre, accessories, equipment, books and finished products.

We have, in recent years, added textiles to the mix so that there is something for everyone at the largest show in Wales. You will find fabrics, dress making patterns and some patchwork related products.

The event takes place on the Royal Welsh Showground, Llanelwedd, Builth Wells, Powys LD2 3SY.

The show usually takes place on the 4^th weekend in April. The dates are shown on the Home page of our website.

Saturday 10am – 5pm and Sunday 10am – 4.30pm.

The Showground can be reached by car, car sharing or minibuses/coaches organised by other companies or groups.

There is a train service to Builth Road Station which runs on a Saturday only. If you are using the train service you can organise a pick up by our minibus service by emailing us with your name, contact details and train arrival time.
