About us
An independent fair, made of the work of the people in it
Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair is organised by Great Northern Events (NW) Ltd, an independent team based in the North West. We bring the UK’s best designer-makers together in buildings worth the visit, so you can see the work up close and buy it from the person who made it.
Every exhibitor is chosen by an independent panel of craft experts, and every season one of them fills our letters.
