CALL FOR ENTRIES: CRAFT FESTIVAL BOVEY TRACEY JUNE 12-14 2020
Applications are open for the multi award-winning Craft Festival in Bovey Tracey (June 12-14 2020). Craft Festival hosts multiple prestigious craft events in South West England and South Wales. Craft Festival Bovey Tracey is our Flagship Festival and is one of the UK’s largest and most loved craft events, hosting 200 diverse and talented makers of contemporary craft selling directly to over 10,000 people. The Festival includes StartUP, a specially curated area for businesses in the early stages of their career.
To celebrate our wider European creative community, this year, as well as opening Craft Festival to makers based in the UK, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, we are, for the first time, extending a warm welcome to makers living and working in the European Union.
You will be working to the highest standards in ceramics, glass, textiles, jewellery, metal, wood, plastics, mixed media, leather, recycled materials and paper. No paintings, photography or musical instruments. Greetings cards are only accepted as part of a range, not the sole product. Full criteria is on our website. The Festival is selected by an independent panel of industry professionals.
The festival is set in a marquee village in idyllic parkland on the edge of Dartmoor in South Devon, England, with excellent transport links via road, train and air. Our additional on-site educational programme includes demonstrations by leading craft practitioners and workshops for all ages.
