Big Knit Little Hat Drop Off Points

Happy to knit but don't like the cost of posting your hats to us? Scroll down to view the map and see the kind local businesses and organisations who have agreed to be Drop Off points for your Big Knit hats for 2026/2027. Instead of posting your hats into our Office (Age UK Somerset, Ash House, Cook Way, Taunton, Somerset, TA2 6BJ), you can just pop in and drop your hats off. If there is no Drop Off Point local to you on the map at the moment please do check again as we are adding new ones all the time. |
