This event will feature some of the UK’s finest contemporary craftmakers and artists, many of whom will be different to those seen at our May event. These craftspeople will be showcasing their work in open-sided marquees within the award-winning Hever Castle Gardens set in 125 acres of glorious grounds with the backdrop of the historic castle – the childhood home of Anne Boleyn.

Exhibitors have been selected from the UK’s finest designer makers and contemporary artists, and the event will incorporate demonstrating artists, a food village and live music!

Children can enjoy the fabulous adventure playground, while visitors of all ages can enjoy the challenge of finding their way through the iconic 100-year old Yew Maze and the Water Maze.

Purchase from a stunning treasure trove of original designs created by some of the finest craftmakers and artists in the UK. Textiles, paintings, furniture, metal, leather, ceramics, jewellery, glass, fashion and more…

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!
