2016 will be the third time Kirstie Allsopp hosts the brilliant Handmade Fair. We attended the Handmade Fair in 2015 and we booked our spot for 2016 immediately after the show because it’s the greatest craft show we’ve been to! If you’ve been before we’re sure we’ll see you there again but if you’re thinking of going we’ve created a quick guide for you.

WHAT IS THE HANDMADE FAIR?

It’s the best place for independent crafters and suppliers to set up shop for a few days. It’s also an amazing craft show to shop at as there is so much on offer. Visiting the Handmade Fair is like entering Aladdin’s cave – it’s a treasure trove of trinkets, gifts, furnishings and supplies all lovingly made and sourced.

It’s also a festival that celebrates crafts. A massive part of the Handmade Fair is the workshops. Take part and make a handmade treasure of your own! It always puts a smile on my face when I see people walking around carrying a lampshade, a tote bag or a felt brooch they made 30 minutes ago.

WHERE IS THE HANDMADE FAIR?

The Handmade Fair takes place on The Green at Hampton Court Palace.

Find out how to get to Hampton Court Palace.

WHEN IS THE HANDMADE FAIR?

The Handmade Fair starts on Friday 16^th September and finishes on Sunday 18^th September.

WHERE CAN I FIND THE FABRIC FOX?

You will find us at Stand E114 (East Tent). Visit our Handmade Fair profile for more details.

Our fabric will be the same prices but you won’t have to pay for postage. You might also find products that we might not have had time to put online during the run-up to the show.

WHERE CAN I BUY TICKETS?

You can buy tickets for the Handmade Fair from the website. Prices start at £15. This will get you into the Handmade Fair. For £32 you can have the Full Experience which will get into the show + x1 Super Theatre + x1 Skills Workshop + Grand Make. All of that will keep you busy!

If you’re interested in the VIP Experience it’ll cost you £95. That sounds like a lot but the extra £63 you get unlimited tea and coffee in the VIP lounge, lunch, a Q+A by Kirstie Allsopp, loads of prosecco and the chance to do an extra workshop!

EXCLUSIVE VOUCHER CODE!

Don’t forget to use voucher code EXFE27 to get £5 knocked off the asking price – you can grab the Full Experience for £27 with this voucher code.

WHAT WORKSHOPS ARE ON?

The Handmade Fair has a huge list of workshops that you’re able to take part in. Workshops cost £5 - £10 each and they happen every hour or so. It’s impossible to take part in every workshop - even if you’re there all weekend – so take a look at the workshop schedule.

That’s quite a lot to take in but we’ve tried to keep at as brief as possible for you. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram as we will be giving away tickets to the Handmade Fair 2016 very soon!
