Celebrate craftsmanship, heritage, and festive spirit 14 – 16 November at the Winter Craft Fair at Blackwell house.
Celebrate craftsmanship, heritage, and festive spirit 14 – 16 November at the Winter Craft Fair at Blackwell – the Arts & Crafts house, one of the finest examples of Arts & Crafts design.
Over three days, this beautiful historic house will be transformed into a warm, atmospheric craft fair filled with handcrafted gifts made by exceptional local makers. Discover ceramics, textiles, jewellery, woodcraft, stained glass, mosaics and more — all made with care and skill by artisans from Cumbria and beyond.
Explore the decorated period rooms, meet the makers, enjoy seasonal treats from the Tea Room, and soak up the beautiful wintery Windermere views on display throughout the house.
Entry to the fair is included with Blackwell house admission. Grab your ticket on the day or purchase in advance online via the link provided. Annual Pass holders and Lakeland Arts Members go free.
