❤️ 10,000 Poppies for Remembrance – Holy Trinity Church Skipton Poppy Project 2026 ❤️

Published September 23, 2025

We’re excited to share an inspiring community project blooming in the heart of Skipton! The Holy Trinity Church Poppy Project 2026 is now underway – and we need you to help us create a stunning cascade of 10,000 handmade poppies to flow from the church steeple in time for Remembrance Sunday 2026.

This moving tribute is a chance for us all to come together and honour those who served and sacrificed. Whether you knit or crochet, we’d love your help in making this vision a reality.

A basket filled with red and black yarn poppy kits is on the table in front of them, along with leaflets, pens, and sign-up sheets. A cascade of handmade red poppies is displayed on the left. The setting is a cobbled street in front of stone buildings, and the stall is part of a local event.

🌺 Let’s Make This Happen – Together!

This is going to be a spectacular and moving tribute, and we can’t wait to see the church adorned with thousands of red poppies, each made with love. Thank you for being a part of something so meaningful.

With heartfelt thanks,
