Regional Events Durham Spring School | Harmby Summer School | Wooler Summer School 
Our events and workshops provide opportunities for exploring, developing and sharing our passion for embroidery, stitched textiles and related arts. These courses and events also allow members from different parts of the Region to get to know each other, share ideas, develop good practice, and foster a strong sense of community within the Guild. The workshop/courses are held over two or three days to allow development of ideas in specialist techniques. Tutors on all our courses are of national and sometimes international reputation. Members within the Region have first call on these courses; if there are any vacancies within eight weeks of the event they are opened to members from other Regions and occasionally to non-members of the Guild. You can read our Event Booking and Cancellation Policy here. Other than our tutored workshops and courses, our two annual events for members to meet together are Regional Day in May and the Regional AGM in October. This whole day event is usually held the third Saturday of May.
Pre-Booking and payment for this event is preferred. Information and booking forms are sent to Branch Secretaries/Treasurers early in the year.
This course is usually held annually over three days in April. At the time of writing the Regional Committee are hoping to hold this event in 2021 as a NON-RESIDENTIAL EVENT. Further information will be sent to members as soon as possible, and places are to be booked through the event organiser. Relevant information and a booking form will be sent to Branch Secretaries. Members of the Guild from the NE Region have priority for places, followed by Guild members from another region. Places are allocated on a first come first served basis, and if places are still available after the application booking date, non-members may book a place for an additional fee (see our booking policy document above).
A taster of work from the 2019 Spring School at Ushaw College:
Harmby Summer School (Held annually in late June/early July) This is a non-residential course held over two days at Harmby Village Hall (North Yorkshire). Relevant information and Booking Forms are sent to Branch Secretaries in early spring. Places are limited on this workshop and members need to book their own accommodation in the local area. Participants need to provide their own packed lunches, as well as other meals. The town of Leyburn is a short distance away. Information for places to stay, eat etc., can be found on the Leyburn Tourist Information web site.
Wooler Summer School (Held annually in August)
Wooler Tourist Information Centre is a good place to start looking for accommodation if it is required (other agencies such as ‘Airbnb’ or ‘Trip Advisor’ are useful if a group of participants want to share a cottage etc). Participants need to provide their own packed lunches, as well as other meals. There are a number of local shops, cafes and restaurants in Wooler.
North-East Region AGM (Held annually 4th Saturday of October) This half day event is usually held in the Durham area. It is free to attend. After the business and election of new committee members, there is a speaker or a short demonstration. Members are encouraged to socialise over light refreshments. There may be a display of recent works and opportunities to purchase small embroidery related items to help with regional fundraising. Plus, a members' competition with an award will be judged by those attending the event. Members without a Branch who were intending to attend this event should contact the Regional Secretary by email secretary.nerembguild@gmail.com for further details.
