Visitors to the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair are in for a proper treat over the next three days.
After a buzzing preview event last night set in the spectacular surrounds of Victoria Baths, the doors are now open for those eager to get some early Christmas presents or a real treat for themselves.
It’s the 18th time the event has been held, making it the largest and more prestigious showcase of contemporary craft in the North.
An incredibly enjoyable event, it’s a great chance to meet the makers and designers, and buy direct from more than 200 of them!
And of course, we went along to see what it was all about. Well, we know, as some of us spent a bomb last year…
From bold ceramics and sculptural glass to handwoven cushions and scarves, 3D and fine jewellery, statement furniture, ornaments, crazy handmade toys and gorgeous clothes, this really is not to be missed.
Although we could have spent an absolute fortune, some of our favourite stallholders included: DesignsbyMia (we bought beautiful earrings from her), Cruan – gorgeous enamelled bowls from Cornwall, Pottery West – all made by hand in Sheffield, Polished Grey Jewellery (we bought more earrings), and the fabulously talented illustrator and maker of monsters, Emma O’Brien.
Don’t miss it! Book your advance tickets now and save on the door!
Opening Times: TODAY: 10am – 5.30pm, Saturday, October 18: 10am – 5.30pm, Sunday, October 19: 10am – 4pm
