The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Garden Wisley will host a spring shopping extravaganza with the return of the Spring Craft Fair, from Thursday, May 3 to Monday, May 7.
Within the beautiful surroundings of the garden, the annual contemporary Craft Fair will see 200 of the UK’s finest designer-makers showcase their wares. Visitors will be able to browse and buy from a wide selection of crafts, including art, furniture, textiles, jewellery, ceramics, glassware, fashion and sculpture.
For the first time, alongside the 200 exhibiting artisans, the Spring Craft Fair will feature 30 demonstrating artists, with visitors able to view skilled craftspeople at work as they create handmade items.
The Fair will also have a Food Village, offering visitors the chance to try and buy tasty products, such as cheese and chocolate. Additionally, shoppers will be treated to live music as they stroll around the Fair and take in the seasonal horticultural highlights in the garden.
Belinda Betts, Head of Site at RHS Garden Wisley, said: “The Spring Craft Fair is one of the most popular events at Wisley. It provides our visitors with the chance to select from a unique collection of products that have been made by some of the finest craftspeople in the UK – all in one place. Exciting new additions for 2018 include the Food Village and the demonstrating area for artists, providing the opportunity for visitors to see just how these unique items are created.”
The Spring Craft Fair at RHS Garden Wisley coincides with National Gardening Week (April 30 to May 6, 2018), where visitors to the garden will be able to listen to informative talks in the Wisley Plant Centre.
Entry into the Spring Craft Fair is free to RHS Members. Normal garden admission applies to non-members.
