Desire Jewellery And Silversmithing Fair

TBC

Craft In Focus returns to the beautiful setting of Waterperry Gardens with two exceptional craft fairs: the Celebrating Ceramics Festival and the Desire Jewellery & Silversmithing Fair, taking place from 9-11 July.

Set in semi open-sided marquees beside Waterperry House, a single ticket provides access to both events and the chance to meet, engage with and buy from over 200 talented exhibitors.

Visitors can enjoy an outstanding showcase of contemporary craft, featuring some of the UK’s finest ceramic artists alongside leading independent jewellery designers and silversmiths. All makers are carefully selected for their creativity, craftsmanship and quality.

The Desire Jewellery & Silversmithing Fair presents beautifully designed contemporary jewellery and silverware, created by independent makers using a wide range of materials. It is an ideal place to find meaningful gifts for special occasions, and visitors are encouraged to speak directly with exhibitors about commissioning bespoke pieces. Many makers also offer remodelling services, transforming inherited jewellery into modern designs while preserving sentimental value.

The Celebrating Ceramics Festival highlights the very best in contemporary ceramics. Visitors can purchase directly from artists and watch live demonstrations, offering a fascinating insight into techniques and processes.

These events promise an enjoyable day out for all ages, with food and drink stalls and live music enhancing the atmosphere. Beyond the fairs, the wider Waterperry Estate offers a museum, tea shop, plant centre, gallery and gift shop, as well as renowned ornamental gardens featuring classical borders, modern planting, water features and an arboretum.
