The historic Berry School of Arts is set to be transformed by colourful community craftsmanship this May as the Redberry Quilters return with their highly anticipated bi-annual Quilt Show. 

Running from Friday 1 May to Sunday 3 May, this beloved event will showcase the intricate artistry of local makers while raising funds for local charities.

Visitors can expect an impressive gallery of up to 100 quilts on display, ranging from traditional designs to contemporary textile art.

Part of this year’s exhibition is the "small quilt challenge," which invites members to pack maximum creativity into a miniature format. 

Adding to the 2026 event is Featured Quilter Wendy Williams, whose celebrated style and technical expertise are a major highlight for enthusiasts across the South Coast.

Beyond the gallery walls, the show offers a full experience for both seasoned makers and curious admirers. 

The Redberry members’ shop will be stocked with unique handmade gifts, while professional quilting traders will offer a curated range of beautiful fabrics and notions for those inspired to start their own projects.

Attendees can also purchase tickets for the stunning raffle quilt, titled The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, which serves as a whimsical centrepiece for the weekend.

To round out the visit, a pop-up café will be serving fresh sandwiches, homemade slices and tea.

For those looking to display their own work, the deadline for submissions is fast approaching, with entries closing on 27 March. 

Prospective entrants can find full details and entry forms by visiting the Redberry Quilters website at www.redberryquilters.org or by emailing secretary@redberryquilters.org.
