The Creative Craft Show NEC

The UK’s biggest mixed craft event brings together crafters of all skill levels for a hands-on experience like no other. With a history dating back to 1976, this family-run event has grown into a must-visit for anyone passionate about sewing, knitting, embroidery, papercrafts, and more. Visitors can enjoy a packed schedule of live demonstrations, hands-on workshops, and expert-led make-and-take sessions, offering a fantastic opportunity to try new techniques and develop existing skills.

Beyond learning opportunities, the show is a haven for craft shoppers, with aisles filled with the latest tools, materials, and supplies. Unlike online shopping, visitors can see, touch, and test products before making a purchase, ensuring they find exactly what they need for their next project. Whether you're a beginner looking for inspiration or an experienced crafter seeking specialist supplies, this event is the perfect place to explore, create, and connect with the craft community.
