General public along with community groups, local schools and clubs are encouraged to attend to learn and share what New Zealand's favourite fibre can do in everyday life.

The Campaign for Wool is a global initiative created by Patron HRH Prince of Wales to raise awareness of the unique and varied properties of wool. As New Zealand is a country founded on sheep farming, supporting the Campaign for Wool is as natural as the fibre itself.

The Campaign for Wool aims to educate as many people as possible about the incredible benefits and versatility of wool as a valuable commodity for use in fashion, furnishings and everyday life. This in turn, supports many small businesses and local farmers around the world whose livelihoods depend on the wool industry.
