VIRTUAL CHRISTMAS CRAFT FAIR 2020
Due to the current restrictions our gates must remain closed, but we wanted to continue our 30-year tradition of hosting the Christmas Craft Fair and offering our visitors the chance to find unique, handmade Christmas gifts.
Please click the link below to browse the Virtual Craft Fair containing stalls from some of the North's greatest craftspeople. |
Since 1987, Brancepeth Castle Craft Fairs have been held twice each year: the last Fri-Sun in July, and the last Fri-Sun in November.
Acclaimed as one of the best organised Craft Fairs in the North-East, the crafts on offer are all selected for quality and diversity with an emphasis on real craft work. The person standing behind the stall will have made or designed the goods on offer and would love to tell you about their work, so do ask them!
The majority of the stalls are indoors in the lovely ground floor rooms of the castle, other stalls exhibit in the grassy courtyard which is a delightful place for relaxing in good weather.
The fair is organised and staffed by the owners of the castle which brings an unusual personal touch to the event. We hope you enjoy the beauty of this medieval castle as the back-drop to the fair.
