We only accept genuine handcrafted items made by the stallholders - this way we ensure we keep the traditional skiils alive, and keep celebrating the talent and skills of our local makers; this is also true of the workshops, so that you will always have the opportunity to watch genuine craftsfolk at work, try out established workshops, and have the opportunity to take your own unique creation home.
For visitors who are not camping and require a day ticket only, you can either book a ticket, or pay on the day at the venue.
You will be camping an actual 5 minute walk away from the venue, at the beautiful Racquety Farm! There are toilets, showers, mains water and washing stations all included in the price, and you can camp in your tent or a campervan.
NB: these tickets offer camping and Entry to the Crafts Festival - plus FREE workshops of your choice over TWO days, as many as you wish to take part in!
