100% British Crafts

Another of Blackthorpe Barn’s ‘must sees’ is the Best of British Crafts. Every weekend there are over 60 exhibitors offering a wonderful mix of fabulous crafts including; elegantly hand decorated glassware, stunning ceramics and intricately designed jewellery through to gorgeous handbags and clothing, striking sculpture and distinctive wooden creations and so much more. The fabulous collections are 100% British and all beautifully handcrafted by the exhibitors themselves, this is strict criteria for the crafts people and that’s why visiting Blackthorpe Barn delivers such a one-off experience.

As you wander through the oak beamed barn, prepare yourself for an ultimate craft extravaganza; you can also chat with the makers or perhaps see them at work and, as many exhibitors change each weekend, there is something different to see each time you visit, perfect for providing inspiration for gifts or to simply take the plunge and treat yourself.
