2025 Shetland Wool Week In Person Membership

Your membership helps us deliver a vibrant and meaningful programme - and we’ve designed this year’s packages to give you more value and connection to the festival with a focus on experiences rather than “stuff”.

We’re offering three membership tiers for SWW 2025:

• In Person Membership – £45 (Limited availability)
• Virtual Membership – £30

This membership is for those who are attending Shetland Wool Week in person. Upon purchasing this membership, you will receive a PDF file with information and the discount codes mentioned below. The perks will either be emailed to you or be available to pick up at the welcome desk during Shetland Wool Week.
