“The Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair (GNCCF) and GNCCFonline - our online equivalent  - are curated selling showcases of designer-makers and craft artists, handpicked by an independent panel of craft experts, to give you the best in covetable and beautiful design and craftsmanship. 

Work on sale includes jewellery, textile accessories, print, furniture and lighting, ceramics and glass and more. GNCCF and GNCCFonline are opportunities to buy direct from the makers - and meet and chat to them at our "real" fairs.  Many of our exhibiting makers also work to commission, should you be looking for something special or bespoke.

Founded by Ann-Marie Franey and Angela Mann, both passion-fuelled people with an obsessive love of craft and a desire to create nationally renowned events, it’s no coincidence that the GNCCF has become the must-attend event for exhibitors and buyers alike.

The GNCCF is organised by Great Northern Events, a not for profit organisation, whose aims are to champion designer-makers, provide opportunities to showcase and sell their work, and help build a market for craft. “
