NEC Birmingham Stitching, Sewing & Hobbycrafts 1-3 July 2016

Hi, not sure if this is the right place to post. Is this show only for sewing, or are there lots of cardmaking and papercraft exhibitors?

Thanks

Don't know but there are two for papercrafts coming up in the North. One is the Hunkydory at Bolton Arena 4/5 th June and Crafting Live at Doncaster racecourse on 9/10 th July.

I've checked out the NEC website, but they aren't very helpful. Actually they are no help at all. As it says Hobbycrafts as well as stitching and sewing I would be inclined to think there will certainly be some paper crafting. I think there were about six stands at Harrogate last November, which really is for needle crafters rather than paper crafting.

I've just had a look at what it says for the November show at the NEC, that too goes under the same banner as the one in July. From my limited experience of that show, it is about 50% paper crafting, 10% jewellery, 10% watercolour and other artists, with the remaining 30% being knitting and stitching in all its various guises.

the NEC is just so handy if you're flying into Birmingham Int'l. Metro down to train station and you're at the NEC. very tempted :)

Found these if its of any help, if you scroll down the first link it shows the kind of things that will be on and papercrafts is the bottom left square and the second link is for the exhibitors but its not yet showing who they are and says try later on. Might be worth a punt if you can get a cheap flight and risk it, but if its for something specific I would be inclined to wait - it would bea shame to be dissapointed.
