20 Years in the Making

Hello!

I hope this finds you well. We’ve had all sorts of weather down in Bovey today. Snow, very heavy rain and now thunder and lightning!

Let’s look forward to a magical few days in a field in Devon for the 20th Anniversary of Craft Festival in June.

What a milestone! I’ve loved every minute, the huge highs and the challenging lows. It all goes into making Craft Festival a beautiful and memorable experience.

And we’d love you to join us. We have an amazing line up of 200 Makers, workshops for all the family, demonstrations, talks, films, story-telling, street theatre, yoga, great food & live music!

Our workshop programme is now open for bookings. CLICK HERE to get stuck in!

To celebrate 20 Years of Craft Festival, we have a major exhibition at Make Southwest called 20 Years in the Making, featuring 20 award winners from 20 years of Craft Festival.
