StartUP 2027

A dedicated pavilion at Craft Festival Bovey Tracey for makers who have been in business for 2 years or less (started trading since January 2025). Our aim is to support fledgling careers and to encourage and promote the latest creative talent.

Stands in the StartUP section are offered at a much reduced rate to Craft Festival’s stands and create an outstanding opportunity for businesses of two year or less.

You make ceramics, glass, textiles, jewellery, metal, wood, plastics, mixed media, leather, stone, recycled materials, printmaking and paper. Your work shows a dedication to quality of making, presentation and originality.
