This time last week we were hosting our big Goodbye Piazza Party! I don't think any of these pictures can convey just how much this room was buzzing. Over the past week people have told us what a good do it was, how much fun they had, and that we really know how to throw a party! On that day we had over 250 visitors, drank 18 bottles of fizz, sold over a grands worth of sustainable haberdashery and had so many good chats about how much Thread Republic has meant to people. If you were there, or if you've supported us over the last 3.5 years, we're incredibly grateful! People showed up in force to support us and often what we do is in small groups, with a hard working team of volunteers and volunteer directors, we've been told so many times how much this place has meant to people but seeing people show up this much for us was overwhelming in the best way. It was wonderful seeing a room full of people chatting away and seeing connections that have been made through our Textile Hub. Because we were so busy, we didn't get as many photos as we'd have liked, if you took any we'd love to see them!
So many of you have reached out with ideas on where we could deliver workshops and pop ups/empty units that may work for us. If you have any more ideas please do contact us. We want to make sure our next chapter starts in the right place, hopefully still in Huddersfield town centre so we can keep growing the community we've set the groundwork for. In between, we may have a mini temporary solution, but we'll let you know more as soon as we can. We'll also be in pack up mode soon, if you'd like to help us out with that drop us a message!
Thank you again for supporting us!
