This November, the much-loved Winter Craft Fair returns to Blackwell – the Arts & Crafts house in Bowness-on-Windermere and for 2026, there’s even more to enjoy as the fair takes place across two consecutive weekends!

Whether you’re searching for a one-of-a-kind gift, something meaningful for your home, or looking for a festive day out, the Winter Craft Fair is a chance to get everyone together while supporting exceptional craftspersonship.

In celebration of Blackwell’s 125th anniversary and 25 years of contemporary collecting, each weekend will feature a different selection of makers, offering even more opportunities to discover beautifully crafted work from talented craftspeople across the UK.

Wander through Blackwell’s historic rooms and experience an atmospheric showcase of jewellery, ceramics, textiles, leatherwork, woodcraft, homeware and more; all thoughtfully made and carefully selected. Set within one of the UK’s finest Arts & Crafts houses, the fair offers a unique setting where craft and architecture come together.

During your visit, you’ll also be able to explore the M H Baillie Scott: Architect & Designer exhibition, celebrating the visionary behind Blackwell.

Further details will be shared closer to the event.
