You'll find out about the variety of exciting hat making courses on offer in the Parkin Academy and be able to view and purchase the most extensive stocks of materials, feathers and accessories anywhere in the UK. The warehouse section of the day really is an Aladdin's cave of discovery, as you will find everything imaginable to make the hats of your dreams. There's even a business section during the day where you'll get information and pointers about how best to start up your hat making business or give your existing business a boost for greater success.

At just £5 perperson, it's a fantastic networking opportunity where you will meet other like-minded 'hat people'.
