About this event
London Frocktails 2024 will be a chance for home sewists, sewing friends from far and wide, to chat all things fabric, patterns and anything else with people you haven't met in real life yet and others you've known for years.
There will be a glass of fizz on arrival, and wine, beer, non-alcoholic drinks and canapés available during the evening.
You will definitely get a chance to show off your outfit and there may even be prizes!!

The Science Gallery Café is a few short steps from London Bridge Rail and Underground Station (Guy's exit). London Bridge Station is well served by trains and tube services to other major London Stations.
There are three Premier Inns within 5-10 minutes walk. There are also plenty of hotels around Kings Cross Station which is less than 15 minutes away from London Bridge on the Northern Line, for example. Kings Cross is also easy for getting to Alexandra Palace for the K&S show.

Only all the major sights of London! And the Fashion & Textile Museum is just around the corner, it is well worth a visit. The Knitting & Stitching Show is on over the whole weekend. Or a visit to Goldhawk Road which has an abundance of interesting fabric shops. There is loads to do and see!
Only if you want to. Just come wearing the memade outfit you love the most, whether it's newly sewn or proudly re-worn. We look forward to seeing you!
No. It is an event to celebrate our love of sewing. Non-sewists would not only be bored, they would also prevent another sewist from attending the event instead of them, which would be a shame.
The venue has step free access with a lift to the first floor. There are toilets on the first floor. If you need a carer to accompany you they will have to have their own ticket to the event. You can buy a maximum of two tickets to allow for someone to accompany you.
We can't issue refunds but you can sell on your ticket to another sewist as long as you let us have the name of the new attendee so we can add them to our guest list instead.
