May 30, 2026

Hello! 

I hope this finds you well. 

With just 2 weeks to go, we are delighted that Mary Lewis, Head of Craft Sustainability at Heritage Crafts, has shared her 5 Favourites from this year’s line up of makers.⁠

We’re thrilled to welcome Heritage Crafts back to Craft Festival, bringing with them makers dedicating their lives to keeping rare and remarkable skills alive.

Heritage Crafts also will present a range of talks in the Marquee of Endangered Crafts exploring the power of making, including a conversation with Craftland author, Dr James Fox. Meanwhile, our solar-powered Craft Cinema will screen a curated selection of films.

There are a handful of workshop places left. Go take a look here
