October Craft Month Programme

Farnham Craft Month celebrations have been growing steadily each year as the town’s craft organisations and supporters work together to celebrate Craft Town England. For 2019 we are really excited that we have the backing of the Arts Council England who have helped fund some new events as well as funded the opportunity to evaluate the events and activities. This will enable us to provide a more sustainable model for the future to benefit the crafts and the town as a whole.

The Farnham Craft Month events and activities include showcasing new talent and local craft businesses at various venues across the town, with the opportunity to join in networking opportunities and discussions at conferences, symposiums and workshops, and the chance to see and take part in various craft activities that are usually kept behind closed workshop doors. There will also be the opportunity to enter a competition to produce a local sculpture to celebrate Farnham and its Craft Heritage. We hope there is something for everyone and hope you all share the experiences you have with friends, family, colleagues and with us.

These events and celebrations of crafts could not happen without the organisations and individuals that take part, putting effort into setting up and showcasing their yearly craft activities during October. We would like to thank them all.

If you would like more information, to take part or to support the annual October Craft Month please contact us.
