Get creative together in this fun, hands-on family textile workshop celebrating one of Wakefield’s most famous exports: RHUBARB!

Join Ruth Agbolade from Upcycle Arts CIC and help create a colourful, giant textile banner inspired by our city’s unique rhubarb heritage. Families will work together to add their own creative contributions to a collaborative artwork, learning textile techniques and experimenting with materials along the way.

Once complete, the banner will go on display at WX during Rhubarb Festival 2027, giving everyone who takes part the chance to see their work become part of the celebrations.

Open to all, regardless of experience, this relaxed workshop is a chance to get creative as a family, contribute to something made by the community and celebrate a little piece of what makes Wakefield special.

Feeling Peckish? Our food & drink vendors have something for everyone!
