Craft & Art Fair Showcased Local Artists Talent

Our annual Craft & Art Fair was held May 20 across our centre, hosting a range of craft makers and artists from across the UK. A highlight in our calendar, the fair brings together communities to support independent artists and share in the love of craft.

Nearly 50 selected exhibitors showcased their amazing crafts ranging from ceramics, glass, textiles, homeware, jewellery, accessories, wood, painting, printmaking and more. The event drew in over 500 visitors across a wide range of ages, many of whom said they had never visited us before. Spread out across the centre, our galleries, shop and café were open for all throughout the day so that visitors could immerse themselves in all the centre has to offer.

Many crafters and visitors gave wonderful feedback about the quality of the talent on offer and the incredible opportunity it provides to bring crafters work to new audiences. We truly believe in supporting local crafts and arts within our communities, which is what makes hosting the Craft and Arts Fair every year such a delight.
