The Great Nuneaton Poppy Project
Treacle Tarts WI are spearheading a community-wide initiative to create a striking display of handmade poppies to cover the six columns of Nuneaton Town Hall for Remembrance Day 2026.
This project is a collective tribute—bringing together WI members, local groups, and the wider community to honour and remember those who have served.
How You Can Get Involved
We warmly invite anyone who enjoys knitting, crocheting or crafting to take part. Every poppy, no matter how simple or intricate, will contribute to the final installation.
- Knit, crochet or craft your own poppies
- Create as many as you’d like
- All skill levels are welcome
Patterns & Materials
To make things as simple as possible, we’ve provided downloadable poppy patterns.
You can knit, crochet or craft your poppies using any materials you have available—red yarn or fabric is most commonly used, but all contributions are welcome.
All skill levels are encouraged to take part, whether you’re creating your first poppy or your fiftieth.
If you already have completed poppies, or once you’re ready to contribute your creations, please contact the organiser listed on this event page to arrange collection or delivery.
Details regarding collection points, installation and unveiling timings will be shared closer to Remembrance Day 2026.
