£3 per child! No booking necessary! Just turn up on the day!
The Gift and Craft Fair has been held for over 20 years and is always well attended. In 2023, we welcomed over 1,200 visitors across the two days and raised essential funds for the Nature in Art Trust. Here at Nature in Art we are extremely passionate about supporting local artists and craftspeople, helping to highlight the array of crafts available and the creativity of the people in the local area. Our event strives to have a large selection of stallholders showcasing a variety of crafts, from woodwork and ceramics, glassware and photography to jewellery, textles, resin art, flower art and much more.
Our next Gift and Craft Fair will take place on 25th & 26th October.
