Beating Around the Bush

Event Update

Thank you to everyone who has expressed interest in attending the next Beating Around the Bush.

Having held our last convention in 2018, then with both the 2020 and 2021 events cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions, at this time we are yet to announce dates for the next BATB.

The success of BATB was in part due to the venue we were able to secure. Our requirements to host the event consist of over 24 classrooms, catering and dining facilities for 200+ people morning, noon and night, onsite accommodation for 120+ stitchers plus lecture theatres.

In the past we’ve been able to partner with large private schools complete with boarding accommodation to use their facilities in between school terms, however in a post covid era, despite our best endeavours, sadly this has not been possible. Essentially, we are an event without a venue!

If we remain unable to find a venue similar to that which we have used in the past, we will look at options to reimagine the event along with trying a different venue configuration.

We love that there are still so many of you that send us emphatic and passionate emails wanting to know when you can plan your next trip to BATB and we wish we had some dates for you… for now it’s a case of even more hurry up and wait we’re afraid!
