Attleborough Chapel Road School have been invited to come along and join in the fun.
West Norfolk's display will centre on natural encounters with owls and possibly riding for the disabled. It is hoped that representatives from supported charities will be in attendance. There will be loads of animal themed items which will be available for sale as well as a display showing the work of the Area and its supported charities.
North Norfolk will be having a display of knitted and sewn items made for hospitals in Norfolk and further afield, including Addenbrookes in Cambridge.

The Norwich Area will be joined by the Norwich Food and Baby Banks and will be displaying some of the items donated to Homeless charities in the City. There will also be a display showing how Norfolk Knitters and Stitchers help people, within Norfolk and beyond, to support themselves and their communities through learning new skills and experiencing new work.
The Lowestoft Wool Loft is proud of its unique status as a border town and have been given both ends of the spectrum as its remit.
