Are you an independent designer–maker ready to reach a new audience in Oxfordshire?

Set within the beautiful grounds of Waterperry Gardens, Handmade Oxford is one of the UK’s leading curated craft festivals, bringing together over 170 outstanding designer–makers and a loyal, craft-focused buying audience.

More than a stand space, it’s a platform to grow your reach and reputation. Showcase your work in a carefully curated setting, demonstrate your process live to an engaged crowd, and host paid, bookable workshops. It’s a powerful opportunity to build visibility, credibility and direct sales while connecting meaningfully with collectors and first-time buyers.

Visitors come ready to discover and invest in handmade, valuing quality, originality and the chance to meet makers in person. The blend of exhibition, live demonstration and hands-on workshops creates a vibrant, high-quality buying environment.

Applications are welcomed from individual makers, groups and organisations across all contemporary craft disciplines. Stand, trestle table and gazebo options available. Spaces are limited and reviewed weekly.
