2025 Shetland Wool Week Virtual 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
• Supporter Membership – £6

This is a virtual membership for Shetland Wool Week - if you’re unable to be with us in person – this is the next best thing! Upon purchasing this membership, you will receive a PDF file with information and the discount codes mentioned below. You will receive the perks via email in the lead up to Shetland Wool Week.

By becoming a virtual 2025 Shetland Wool Week Member you will receive:

• Live-stream access to the Opening Ceremony (Sunday 28th September, evening)
• Early access to the programme PDF (at least one week before tickets go on sale on 9 July) so you can plan your itineraries.
• Entry to our exclusive prize draw (prizes listed below)
• Various discounts off yarn and patterns at Jamieson & Smith, Uradale Yarns & Jamiesons of Shetland during the month of August
• Access to a series of SWW ‘Shetland Ways’ films which will be released during the event

Note: If you’ve missed out on the In Person Membership, but are attending SWW and hold a Virtual Membership, you can buy the enamel pin at the welcome desk with proof of membership.
