What's On is compiled as a free service from information sent to the Embroiderers' Guild. Every care is taken to ensure the accuracy of entries but readers are advised to check on dates, times, etc. before making a special visit. Entries should include: title/details of the event, full address of venue, dates, opening times and a contact telephone number. Entries are not restricted to Great Britain.

Please note that as this is a free service, we are unable to guarantee that any entry will appear in Embroidery magazine or STITCH with the Embroiderers' Guild magazines. If such a guarantee is required, it is recommended that readers consider a paid advertisement.

Events for magazine publication must be received by us at least 3 months before the publication date of the issue in which they should appear. We will endeavour to list events on the web site as soon we can, but you should be aware that this will normally be at least 14 days after receipt.
