Date: Thursday, 26 February 2026
Location: Palmerston North (venue shared on registration)
Time: There are two time slot options 1-2.30pm and/or 5.30-7.00pm

Focus of the Hui: action, connection and collaboration
Intention of the Hui: creating an opportunity for those interested in Textile Rescue and Repurposing initiatives:
1. To share what they are doing or planning, what they need and can offer
2. Connect people looking for where they can join in, learn, co-create.
