As well as meeting and buying from over 200 of the finest Makers from across the UK there is a hand-picked collection of makers demonstrating their craft throughout the weekend.
Getting hands-on is a big part of the Festival, we're so excited that Model Maker extraordinaire, Jim Parkyn, Senior Model Maker at Oscar Winning, Bristol-based Aardman Animations, will be there, Jim is the man responsible for creating some of the UK's most loved Plasticine characters from Morph to Shaun the Sheep.
Sol Cinema is the smallest, solar powered, cinema-in-a-vintage-caravan, in the World. There will be a touch of nostalgia this year as the nation commemorates Victory in Europe's 75th Anniversary. To honour this Craft Festival visitors can embrace the 1940's on Saturday 13th June through fashion and music. Dress up in your favourite 1940's style and listen to great music from the era.
