British Wool is opening the doors of its Bradford headquarters to the public to mark its 75th anniversary.

The organisation is inviting visitors to its head office and depot on Thursday, September 25, as part of a series of exclusive, regional celebrations taking place across the UK this autumn.

Guests will be given a behind-the-scenes look at British Wool’s grading and sorting operations, learning how raw fleece is transformed into a wide range of products.

Andrew Hogley, chief executive at British Wool, said: “British wool isn’t just a legacy fibre, it’s a material for the future, and is gaining new relevance in a world increasingly concerned with environmental impact.

“Not only does it provide a natural, sustainable alternative to synthetics for the consumer, but buying British wool products also supports rural communities, preserves traditional skills, and helps safeguard the craft and heritage that has been woven through generations of farmers and makers.

“Every fleece tells a story – and by choosing British wool, the UK is backing a thriving industry that values people and the planet.”

Visitors will also discover the many uses of wool, from fashion and interiors to garden products, pet beds, and even tennis balls.

Tickets can be booked via Eventbrite.
