Perfect fun for all the family, we've got two family passes for this lovely event between 18 and 21 May, plus a £20 gift voucher for each winner too!

The Craft In Focus Contemporary Craft Fair will feature around 150 exhibitors displaying and selling work in various disciplines including glass, textiles, woodwork, jewellery, metalwork, artwork and more. It is held in semi open-sided marquees within the award-winning gardens and with the backdrop of the historic Hever Castle – the childhood home of Anne Boleyn.

The organisers have always been at the forefront of promoting the best of the UK’s designer makers and their high quality contemporary events have been placed above all other shows of their kind by The Independent.
Organiser, Rob Chapman says, “We’ve had such positive feedback from visitors about the high quality of our event and visitors appreciate the fact that we keep our standards high and have stuck with our principles of only allowing work made by the exhibitor to be presented. This has really set us apart from many other craft fairs.”
Fans of the TV pottery challenge programme – or anyone who has an interest in ceramics - won’t want to miss the Potters’ Village which will be taking place during the fair, where you can meet several of the contestants from the 2022 and 2021 series. They will be staging duelling challenges amongst themselves and will also be offering workshops where visitors can have a go at creating something themselves in clay.

Craft In Focus events offer the public a calibre of exhibitor not often seen at other craft fairs. All exhibitors have designed and made the work that they display and have been selected for their individuality and innovation in contemporary design, as well as outstanding technical ability.

Children can enjoy the fabulous adventure playground while visitors of all ages can enjoy the challenge of finding their way through the Water Maze and the 100 year old Yew Maze.
Reduced tickets can also be booked online in advance using discount code CRAFT23.
