About the Arts and Crafts Fair

This event is an amazing five weekends celebrating some of the best artisan crafts from across the country. The festive 16th century Barn is filled with independent makers’ stalls, selling their own, quality handmade items directly to visitors. We are proud to have been showcasing art and craft on Rougham Estate, as part of Christmas at Blackthorpe Barn, for over 30 years.

Each designer-maker is carefully selected to ensure quality and to provide the ultimate eclectic mix of pieces to enjoy.

This year there are many new makers alongside some popular regulars, each with intriguing pieces for sale. The mix of makers changes each weekend, so there is always something new to see each time you visit.

The Art and Craft Fair is only open at the weekends to allow the makers time during the week to practise their craft and make their wares.

The modest entrance price, compared to similar craft shows, distributes the costs of maintaining the ancient barn and hosting the event here, directly benefiting the makers by ensuring reasonable stall-holder fees. Children under the age of 16 are admitted free of charge.

Only assistance dogs are allowed in the Arts and Crafts Fair.
