Team up with Whitton Woolies to make Women's Rugby World Cup decorations

On 17, 24 and 31 July and 7 August, Whitton Woolies will be making decorations for the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025. Come along if you’d like to help with knitting, crocheting, sewing pieces together or sewing in ends.

Local group Whitton Woolies has been nominated to represent our borough in Rugby Football Union’s (RFU) Red Roses Yarn Art campaign. The project invites clubs and communities to create rugby-themed crochet and knitted decorations to celebrate the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025.

Join Whitton Woolies in crafting a yarn connection linking Whitton with Twickenham, featuring hundreds of knitted red roses, bunting, rugby players, rugby balls and post box toppers. This creative endeavour is more than just a visual treat, it’s a powerful statement promoting inclusivity and an excellent opportunity to volunteer and support women’s sport. 

• Dates: 17, 24 and 31 July, and 7 August
• Time: 2 to 5pm
• Location: Whitton Community Centre, TW2 6JL
