Where to find post box toppers in the UK

[updated 24.4.24]
Post box toppers have become a bit of a phenomenon during the pandemic. The art of creating random acts of crochet kindness is continuing to spread across the UK, but where can you find post box toppers and yarnbombing? Read on for more where I explain:

  • What yarnbombing and post box toppers are.
  • Where to find post box toppers near you.
  • Where to find a post box topper pattern.
  • Where you can see more photos of post box toppers around the UK.
  • If you need permission to put out post box toppers or yarnbombing.
  • Where to meet other yarn bombers.
  • How you can add your toppers or toppers you’ve seen to this list.


What is a post box topper?

Post box toppers are knitted or crocheted decorations that are fixed to the top of our Royal Mail post boxes in the UK. You have probably seen one or two where you live.

This craze started during the lockdowns of 2019/20 and has continued into 2021/22.  An army of knitters and crocheters have brightened up our towns and villages with some wonderful creations. You may have seen ones for Remembrance Day and Christmas featured in the national press and local newspapers, and there are currently commemorative post box toppers dedicated to the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations popping up all over the place at the moment.

Of course, they are not just for occasions and might feature local attractions, NHS heroes, national treasures such as Captain Tom Moore, spring and autumn themes, etc. In fact, anything goes.

Post box toppers also come under the umbrella of yarnbombing, which is the term for decorating something with knitted or crocheted wool – including bollards, trees, bicycle racks, benches, and fences. Some think of it as street art with yarn rather than paint.

Some areas have created them for charity but most are done just to try and cheer people up in these trying times. What a wonderful act of kindness. I cannot knit or crochet but I am hoping to help spread the joy by writing this post. I hope you’ll spread it further by sharing this post too.

Do you need permission to add a post box topper or yarn bomb?

Royal Mail seems to embrace post box toppers and regularly share photos of them on their social media accounts. However, they do stipulate that the openings for posting letters and the door to remove mail must be kept clear. If in doubt check with your local Royal Mail office.

Yarnbombing other public or private properties is illegal, although many welcome it so you should always check with the owner or your local authority before attempting to decorate anything.

Where to find patterns and photos of post box toppers and yarnbombing

You can find all MY photos of post box toppers on dedicated Facebook and Instagram pages called:

There are many local and national Facebook groups dedicated to postbox toppers and yarnbombing. My favourites are:

The latter also shares crochet creations that people leave out such as angels, hearts, flowers, and worry worms purely to cheer people up.

In the groups, you will be able to find patterns for post box toppers and other crocheted items. They are  friendly groups for people to share what they’ve found or created. I believe you can also find them on Pinterest or Etsy.

Where to find postbox toppers near you

Below you will find what I hope will be a comprehensive directory of post box toppers around the UK, listed alphabetically by county in England, Scotland, and Wales. Maybe you fancy taking a post box treasure hunt around your locality with the kids, or just want to check out some new post box toppers when visiting other locations.

Please bear in mind, that some of these may be seasonal, but many of our yarnbombers spread the joy all year round.

How to add postbox toppers near you to the list below

To add the addresses of toppers you’ve made or toppers you’ve seen, simply add the details in the comments section stating the county – town name, and address (outside shop name if applicable), and I will happily add it the next time I update the list.

Do keep checking back as this list grows and please share with your local community groups so that everyone can enjoy them.

  1. There’s a small (box on a stick) post box in Zouch, Nottinghamshire, that some wonderful person has been decorating for years with constantly changing designs. The one for 2023 Remembrance Day was amazing, but they’re always beautiful.
