Cosby Yarn Bomb

The Cosby Yarn Bomb is an annual street art festival which aims to raise awareness of isolation, and improve wellbeing and community togetherness. Members of the Cosby community showcase their impressive yarn-work all over the village, all relating to a specific theme.

All yarn pieces are free to view throughout the event, and a fun day out can be made of walking through the village to find each one.

The theme for 2023 is ‘Showtime’! We can’t wait to see what wonderful creations are produced this year.
Pop down any day 11th to 30th August 2023 and find some inspiration for your next creative project!
