Estepona holds first Patchwork meeting with free entry, exhibitions, and a charity bar

Estepona will host its inaugural Patchwork event on Saturday, June 6, bringing together craft enthusiasts from across the region for a day dedicated entirely to textile art. The event is organised by Lola’s Haberdashery (Merceria Lola), in collaboration with Estepona Town Hall, and will be held at the Estepona Exhibition and Congress Centre (Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos) from 12pm to 7pm. The charity bar will be run by Paula and the Bone Marrow Factory Association (Paula y la Fabrica de Medula), a local group supporting bone‑marrow donation.

What to expect at the event

Three areas will be set up inside the venue, a working zone for registered participants, an exhibition area, and a catering zone featuring the charity bar. Visitors can browse the displays and enjoy the creative atmosphere throughout the afternoon at no cost.

How to register for the Estepona Patchwork day

Participation is limited to 100 places. Registration is available by calling 649 732 491. The €50 fee includes a materials kit, lunch, gifts, and entry into prize draws. Bookings remain open until all places are filled, so early registration is recommended.

What is Patchwork? The benefits of textile arts and crafts

Patchwork, or “work with patches” is a traditional hand‑sewing technique that joins small pieces of fabric in different colours, patterns, and textures to create a larger decorative design. It is commonly used for quilts, cushions, garments, and accessories.

It’s not only creative appeal that attracts people, the craft supports sustainability by reusing leftover fabric scraps, encourages mental wellbeing through its rhythmic, meditative process, and fosters community by bringing people together around a shared hobby.

Free entry to Estepona’s textile gathering

If you are an experienced needle worker and would like to take part, or simply curious about textile arts and want to give it a go or have a browse, this event is for you to get the creative juices flowing.

Mark June 6 in your diary and head to the venue for a day of something different, creativity, community, and colour.
