The Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair (GNCCF) is a nationally renowned event and the premier fair in the North. Now in its 18th year, the GNCCF is an exclusive opportunity to buy direct from over 150 of the UK's leading designer-makers and craft artists. All exhibitors are hand-picked by an independent panel of craft experts, to give you the best in covetable design and craftsmanship.

Our fairs feature handmade accessories for you and your home including jewellery, textile accessories, print, furniture, lighting, ceramics, glass, wood, metal and more.
