Celebrating Ceramics and Desire Fair - Joint Event at Waterperry Gardens 2025

Here's an overview giving an insight into our successful 2025 event.

☆☆ Celebrating 25 Years of Craft In Focus ☆☆

April 2025 marked a remarkable milestone — 25 years since Craft In Focus staged its very first event at Guildford University and opened the doors on 15 April 2000. Since then, we have grown to become the UK’s leading organiser of contemporary craft fairs, staying true to our ethos of showcasing only the finest British craftmakers and artists.

Unlike many other events, we strictly prohibit imported or mass-produced work, ensuring visitors are purchasing work direct from the makers selected to exhibit with us. This dedication has set us apart, earning us an outstanding reputation and redefining the way the public perceives craft fairs.

“After just a few years organising our events, one organiser accused me saying ‘but you are just cherry picking the best craft makers for your shows’. I was very proud to reply ‘Yes’, and we still do.” - Rob Chapman, Founder and Owner
