Craft Trade Fair

BCTF on-track for major comeback in 2022 with the much-loved British Craft Trade Fair returning to Harrogate in April 2022, celebrating its 45th birthday

Taking place from 10-12 April 2022 at the YEC Harrogate, the fair will welcome thousands of quality trade buyers looking for the latest collections for their stores from over 300 carefully vetted designer makers showcasing the very best of British handmade craft and giftware.

Uptake for the show has been strong, with spaces in both the Newcomers Gallery and Post-Newcomers Gallery being limited due to high demand.

Makers participating in the show can also take advantage of the additional benefits such as:

■ Inclusion in the online trade Catalogue; ■ Online Mentoring Sessions to help prepare them for the show, covering topics such as pricing, T&C, SOR, percentage mark-ups and stand displays; ■ Access to Newcomers Guides and Help Audios.

Matt Miller, owner of Kerrison Exhibitions commented, “BCTF has a fantastic following of thousands of UK buyers and galleries already and we’ll be supplementing direct mail and email invitations to these regular visitors with promotional campaigns on social and across all key press titles. We’re committed to making BCTF 2022 a great success for all our designer makers.”

Latest confirmed designer makers include Caroline Finlay Jewellery, Xuella Arnold Jewellery, Chris Ceaser Photography, Papershades, Ruth Haldon Design, Circle & Dash, Emma Nicol Illustration, Tracy Ford Ceramics, The Linen Garden, Umbellifer, Wendy Bell Designs, Holy Loch Pottery, Kushboo Soaps, Lauren’s Cows, olliefrench. woodworks, Sarah Perry Fine Art, Tania Holland Gallery, The Candle Brand, Erum Aamir Ceramics and many more.

BCTF has been promoting exclusively British hand-made giftware longer than any other trade fair in the UK. With hundreds of makers, a vast range of products, and prices starting at just a few pounds, BCTF is a must-visit event for anyone wanting to buy unique, handmade work from the British Isles.
