Great Northern Contemporary Craft fair

If you’re in or near Manchester in October, why not come and visit Victoria Baths for this wonderful show! I’m very happy to be back at GNCCF for my 4th year running.

The Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair (GNCCF) and GNCCFonline are opportunitues to buy direct from top designer-makers and craft artists.  All exhibitors are hand-picked by an independent panel of craft experts, to give you the best in covetable and beautiful design and craftsmanship. 

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

Founded by 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.

Since the first fair was offically opened by internationally renowned designer Thomas Heatherwick in 2008, our craft events have showcased  over 3000 artists, attracted over 85000 visitors and sold over £3m of craft.”
