Situated in an elegant purpose-built pavilion in the Spinningfields business district, just off Deansgate in the heart of Manchester, The Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair provides a unique shopping experience where original contemporary craft can be purchased and commissioned directly from the UK’s leading designer-makers.

Now in its second year, the Fair features over 130 exhibitors showcasing the finest works of contemporary craft, creating an inspirational mix of jewellery, interior and fashion accessories, ceramics, glass, metal-work, furniture and more. Established makers and emerging talent have been selected by a panel of experts to ensure work is both innovative and of the highest quality.

The event will provide a perfect opportunity for visitors to treat themselves, buy one-off gorgeous gifts for Christmas or invest in a distinctive piece for the home.

Visitors can spend the day in a relaxed yet stimulating atmosphere, chat to the makers and find out the story behind each unique piece. As we move away from excess and mass production this event is about finding something you love and buying it directly from the person who made it.

Whether it’s something to use, something to give or simply something to gaze at, it can be found at The Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair.
