What the makers from 2017 said:
A really excellent show which beautifully combined very high quality and professional work with an extremely friendly yet also professional atmosphere. An atmosphere which extended through every layer involved - from organisers, exhibitors and the public.
Sam Waterhouse, jewellery
A great show that gave me the opportunity to showcase my work and attract a new market in a different area. I was very pleased with my sales. A great show that I would love to do again. Abigail Leach, potter
Many thanks again for a fabulous show, so well organised and so welcoming. Hope to see you again next year!

Thank you for yet another wonderful event! I had a great time, met lots of interesting people and had a successful show. The Contemporary Craft Festival is my favourite show of the year. l apply with nervous anticipation and am delighted and honoured to be accepted. It is so well organised and a pleasure to take part.

This is great fair as the public who visit are educated in handmade craft and understand the amount of time and skill that go into making the work.
