TicketsLatest Coronavirus Update
Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS COVD-19 Vaccination Centre at the Arena has now closed and we are preparing to re-open the venue to events starting September 2021.
Things may be a little different when you return so we wanted to let you know what will be in place for your visit.
The Wool Monty on the 12 & 13 June 2021 has been rescheduled and will be back in Sheffield on 18 & 19 June 2022
Announcement from the promoters of the Wool Monty issued 6 February 2021:-
"We're really sorry to say that there won't be a physical The Wool Monty in 2021. We've rescheduled the show for next Summer, when we're confident we'll be able to gather safely and have an absolute blast with you, all of our favourite yarnies. The new dates are June 18-19 2022.
There are a few reasons for this, the first one being that our amazing venue, Sheffield Arena, is currently a vaccination centre for all of South Yorkshire. Even if that weren't the case we wouldn't feel comfortable hosting a show for lots of people from all over the country to gather together, when it may be that we are only just coming out of lockdown at that time.
If you've bought a ticket already you don't need to do anything and it will be carried over.
We are planning a virtual show, Monty @ Home, for the 2021 show dates (12-13 June 2021), so watch out for news on that over the coming weeks and months.
We hope you're all keeping safe, and CANNOT wait to see you all again in person! Thank you so much for your support.
Debbie, Mand and Rosie".

The Wool Monty is a two day celebration of all things yarn at the Utilita Arena Sheffield on Saturday 18 & Sunday 19 June 2022.
Whether your creative passion is knitting, crochet, weaving, spinning, dyeing, felting or just careful curation of yarn and accessories we've got you covered.
The Wool Monty is a yarn show with a difference. Driven by their own experiences with mobility and sensory issues the team have focused on inclusivity and accessibility, taking steps to make sure that every member of the yarn and fibre community is welcome:-
- A commitment to ensuring that everyone feels valued and represented
- Free on-site parking for all ticket holders
- 4m wide aisles so those with mobility issues can get around easily
- The whole show takes place on one level, including workshops and the cafe
- A quiet room so anyone with anxiety or sensory issues can take a break and refresh
- High ceilings so noise dissipates

The Wool Monty is brought to you by Woolfull, a family business from the Hope Valley, Derbyshire. After being knitters, crocheters or both for a number of years they became disillusioned by the lack of bright, airy and local yarn shops, and so decided to start their own. Woolfull opened in Spring 2017 and is bold, colourful and friendly.
Show times: 10am until 5pm Saturday & 10am until 4pm Sunday.
