The Bees Needles Festival

The best of the island are coming together to celebrate all things creative

Sewing
Stitching
Art
Sculpture
Fibre Arts
and so much more.

A day to shop, be inspired and maybe try out a new hobby or craft.

Workshops, catwalk presentations, a shopping mall and an artisan village all under one roof with refreshments available on site too.

For those who may not know Karen, she is Karen from Karen Robb Sewing Collective located at the IOW Pearl.

As a passionate fashion designer and sewing instructor, she’s spent years sharing her love for all things creative, from costume making and bridal wear design to leading sewing classes since 2009. Over the years, she’s watched our community’s creative spirit grow, and she’s long felt that the Isle of Wight could benefit from a special event that brings together the incredible talents we have here but to also invite mainland companies that have unique items we on the island would be interested in buying or new ideas we would like to try.

That’s why Karen is thrilled to announce something new and exciting.
