Can you believe we are so close to opening our doors for this year’s festival?
We have put together this handy round-up for you today, with all the key information you’ll need to be sure that you won’t miss your favourite vendor, a chance to chill out in the Ravelry Lounge or Stitch Salon, or to catch up with your favourite fibre celebrity.
Are you ready to plan your Woollinn purchases?
The Woollinn 2019 Marketplace Floor Plan is now available!
This year the festival marketplace is spread over two locations: one in the hotel’s main function suite and one in a marquee of the same size on the hotel’s green. Be sure to check all three pages of the PDF, so you don’t miss any key vendor or social / demonstration areas.

Good Morning:
I will be staying at 22 Ash Street in Dublin. How would I find out how to get to Woollinn from there?
Hi Terry,
If you are using public transport then we would recommend using the Matthews Coach Service which departs from Cumberland St North.
The timetables can be viewed here, with most services incorporating a stop immediately outside the City North Hotel (and other services requiring that stop to be requested of the driver on boarding).
Other tips and useful info can be found in our Transport Guide.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
Lisa
