Connecting through the things we love… IRL!

Bourne founders, Fran & Michelle, in research-mode!

At Bourne, we’re all about relaxed clothing that brings people together and celebrates the things we all love to do… but it’s about more than style - it’s about connection.

This year, we’ve had so much fun researching events that will help us share the Bourne spirit next year and it’s been really exciting planning ahead! We can’t wait to be part of these experiences that bring people together around the things we all love.

From the beautiful Garden Festival at Hampton Court Palace to the creative buzz of the Knit & Stitch Show at Alexandra Palace, the Dorset County Show, and the truly special Christmas fairs coming up that are right on our doorstep - we’ve been discovering incredible shows that share our ethos: celebrating life’s simple joys. These events are part of Britain’s social fabric and they offer inspiration, hands-on learning, and the chance to shop unique finds you won’t see anywhere else.

Whether you’re a gardener dreaming of new blooms, a crafter hunting for ideas, or simply someone who loves discovering something special, these events are where passions come to life.

We’re planning which shows to attend in 2026, and we’d love your input!

Which events should Bourne be at? Drop us a comment and help us with our plans to make next year unforgettable!

With love,
Fran & Michelle 💕
