Her appearance has been organised by Keighley Firm, Designer Yarns. The event is limited to 100 places and tickets are available from Coldspring Mill on a first come first served basis. The cost is £5 per ticket all of which will go to the Oxenhope based hospice. Guests will also be treated to a complementary drink at reception. The event will run between 4pm and 8pm and ticket holders are welcome to come along at anytime between these times.
Coldspring Mill owner Adam Wood said, “Debbie Bliss is a big name in the Knitting world and hopefully her presence will ensure a successful event and raise a large amount for such a worthy local cause in the process.”
