ThreadFest 2026

Birkdale Community House

About this event

ThreadFest returns for 2026, bringing makers, crafters and textile enthusiasts together across Birkdale Community House and Hall for a full day of sharing, learning and creativity.

Hosted by Thread Lightly with support from the Birkdale Beach Haven Community Project and Kaipātiki Local Board, this community event offers inspiration and practical resources for anyone who loves making.

Fabric swap and craft supplies

Clear out your unwanted stash and bring along fabric, sewing patterns, haberdashery, yarn and other craft materials to swap. It is a fantastic opportunity to rehome surplus supplies and pick up fresh materials for your next project.

Workshops and demonstrations

Explore practical crafting techniques through interactive workshops and live demonstrations presented by skilled local craft groups throughout the day.
