About

LEEK TEXTILE WEEK

 Text and textiles intertwine in performances by poets from the Moorlands and beyond, including Clare Press (@mrspress), host of The Wardrobe Crisis podcast, who will read from her new book Wear Next, Fashioning the Future. The event will also include wine and nibbles.

 

This walk and talk is part of Leek Textile Week, a week-long celebration running from 23-29 September 2024. Leek Textile Week will comprise a series of community-focused activities, talks and exhibitions that celebrate the town’s rich textile heritage. We will weave threads of the past into the present, spinning new connections with artisans from India and beyond whose knowledge helped transform the local industry.
