An extensive programme showcasing the skill, heritage and innovation behind Ireland’s and Europe’s wool culture takes place this Saturday 28 March in the Meadowlands Hotel, Tralee, Co Kerry.
The free-to-attend event is a fringe event of the European Wool Day conference which Ireland is hosting in 2026 and which is also taking place on Saturday in the same venue.
The conference, organised by the European Wool Exchange Foundation in conjunction with Irish hosts the Irish Grown Wool Council, Circular Bioeconomy Cluster and Centre for Applied Bioscience Research, will bring together national and international attendees highlighting wool’s vital role in sustainability, circular economies and cultural heritage.
The conference is currently full to capacity with the organisers operating a waiting list.
The free fringe event, which runs from 10am to 5pm, will demonstrate the research and innovation that is taking place to raise the value of Irish-grown wool.
An extensive range of demos will showcase processes such as wool processing, felting, spinning, weaving, carding and blending, crochet/knitting, rug making, belt making and much more. See irishgrownwoolcouncil.com for more.
