Here's an early morning fly-past, in case you have ever wondered about the scale and size of one of our most popular events.

☆☆ Celebrating 25 Years of Craft In Focus ☆☆

April 2025 marks 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

Exhibitors Comments

Here's a short video featuring exhibitors from our recent events.

Why are we different?

Craft in Focus has changed the way the public perceive craft shows and has reinstated the high quality image of Britain's talented designer makers. Craft in Focus now provides makers from all over the country with an opportunity to sell their work to an appreciative audience. We welcome up and coming designers as well as more established makers.

The events have been hailed as "A breath of fresh air for craft shows, just what the industry needs" by both visitors and public alike. The shows are now firmly placed in visitors diaries as the "Must Visit Events". The Independent newspaper placed Craft In Focus above all other events of its kind in the country.

Because Craft in Focus is so committed to making a difference we have earned an enviable reputation for staging high quality shows for the public and providing financially successful events for exhibitors.

Our advertising is widespread for all our shows and begins well in advance of the shows to ensure not just maximum visitor attendance, but a quality attendance attracting those who will have a genuine interest in your work.

Selection process

All disciplines will be considered if the work is of a high standard. Makers who have not already exhibited with us will be asked to send photographs of their work and stand set up to accompany their application. Please note that we do not accept bought in work and we will not hesitate to remove an exhibitor from a show for selling work not made by themselves.
