On the Friday evening a Winter Wool "Skuurdans" will take place at Rusoord Farm featuring Afrikaans artist, Riaan Benadé. The Sir Herbert Baker Route will also be launched by the Middelburg Museum in the afternoon. Two of the festival's unique Wool Workshops will take place during the Friday morning and afternoon.

And festival goers will be able to visit Karoo Roos Padstal to try their delicious home-made lamb pies and view their unique Merino-history display and products.
