Hello All,
I am putting together a Sheffield Tool Event where you can come and see/buy Sheffield made tools! This is to be held at the Kelham Island Museum which is our industrial heritage museum here in Sheffield. The museum is also home to the Hawley Tool Collection and I am running this event on Sunday 11th September 2016 (11am-4pm) to coincide with a heritage weekend they are running and the behind the scenes Hawley Collection tours. (You can book this tour separately and is a first come first serve basis with limited numbers).
The event aims to celebrate Sheffield tool making and gives you all an opportunity to come and buy Sheffield made product in one place and come and see our industrial history that made our nation one of the biggest providers of steel in the world.
I've created a facebook event so please feel free to check this out, like and share the invite and also register your interest in this:

Currently I have the following companies involved in this as well as our own products:
Our wide range of saw brands including, PAX, Lynx and Dorchester
Clifton Planes
Footprint Tools
Joseph Marples
Robert Sorby/Turners Retreat
Ernest Wright Scissors
There are some more to be confirmed.
The museum is a great place and really worth supporting as it truly represents how great our nation is.
Raffle prizes - with all funds raised going to the Hawley Collection (a volunteer led organisation).
There is a café and other great food places nearby. Also on the CAMRA pub trail so a really worth while day trip.
This is my first attempt at this event so all support is appreciated so that I can grow this event year on year
Any pre-orders and products you have a particular interest in, please let me know before hand and we can arrange this.
Thanks,
Katie
