East Neuk Knits Marketplace at Bowhouse

The East Neuk Knits Marketplace is the hub of East Neuk Knits, which runs 26-28 November 2026 in the East Neuk of Fife.

A yarn festival in a farm market hall at a traditionally quiet time of year: squish yarn, snuggle a goat, eat cake and buy Christmas presents from farmers and makers.

What to expect:

• Friday 27 and Saturday 28 November in the Bowhouse market hall at St Monans, open from 10am
• A vendor marketplace, plus pop-up talks, mini-exhibitions and the community-decorated Drifter herring boat sail
• Alpaca, sheep and goats on site, as part of the festival's animal-to-yarn thread
• Book signings hosted by the SWI, and demonstrations of weaving and knitting the herring
• "Children under 16 are free, but please book a ticket so we have clear numbers for fire safety"
• Baern cafe on two floors, a kitchen shop and food vans behind the marketplace
• One level throughout and wheelchair accessible, with two accessible toilets; free minibus to the other venues
