Summer Craft Fair 2020
Sadly due to the ongoing circumstances we feel like we will be unable to provide a craft fair to the standard we would want for all the stallholders and attendees. Therefore we have taken the sad decision to cancel the summer craft fair.
This will be the first time there has been no summer craft fair since they started over 30 years ago. However we hope to be able to welcome you all back for the Christmas craft fair in November. |
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.
