        There are several other festivals through the year in Shetland. For any special events that fall between October and April (for example, Lerwick Up Helly Aa in January) we usually have expanded opening times – we'll have details on this page in advance of the festivities, and on social media.

        Accessibility

        The studio shop is a small space on one level. Our wide door is accessible for visitors with wheelchairs. We are situated a short distance from Hoswick Visitor Centre, which is accessible for wheelchair users and has a café and an accessible toilet.

        There is car parking at Hoswick Visitor Centre but, if you need to, it's usually possible to park or drop off just outside our studio shop.

        We'd be delighted to help you plan your visit, so do get in touch with any queries.

        Directions

        From Sandwick, head to Hoswick.

        The studio shop is a small white building and is just around the corner from the old Gospel Hall (wooden building with rusted tin roof). We are on the left hand side of the main street of Hoswick—just before Laurence Odie Knitwear and the Hoswick Visitor Centre (which has ample parking).

        Transport

        The studio is in Hoswick, near Sandwick in south Mainland. Buses from Lerwick to Sandwick take 30 minutes, then a 10 minute walk to Nielanell. Ask the driver to let you off by the Sandwick shop or Sandwick Hall.
