Our fourth annual event here will feature up to 80 of the UK’s finest contemporary artists and makers and will be staged in semi open sided marquees within Trentham Gardens with its vast perennial plantings providing breath-taking vistas.
This stunning contemporary revival of a historic garden is amongst the very best in the UK. The gardens have been transformed over the last 15 years and are now some of the finest in Britain with the revival being led by multi-Chelsea gold-medal winner Tom Stuart-Smith. The revival of the gardens led the Telegraph newspaper to describe Trentham Gardens as "The garden makeover of the decade" and Trentham has collected an abundance of awards including being awarded a Gold Accolade by Visit England in 2015, 2016 and 2017. A visit here offers a great day out for everyone!
Purchase from a stunning treasure trove of original and affordable designs created by some of the finest craftsmen and artists in the UK. Textiles, paintings, furniture, metal, leather, ceramics, jewellery, glass, fashion and more…
Admission to the Gardens also gives admission to the Craft Fair. On the Trentham Booking site, simply select a Garden Admission Day Ticket (non-member ticket), and choose your day. Click here to book tickets in advance.

Terms & Conditions: The organisers reserve the right to refuse admission in reasonable circumstances or to request any ticket holder to leave the event and take appropriate action to enforce this right. We prefer no dogs in the marquees as waggy tails can do a lot of damage! For Trentham Gardens' dog policy click here.
