Bovey Tracey Craft Festival
Event Info
Craft Festival Bovey Tracey returns this June for its annual 3-day celebration of craft, creativity, and community.
Every year, Mill Marsh Park in Bovey Tracey, Devon transforms into a vibrant village of marquees, makers, and music. For many, the pilgrimage to Bovey for Craft Festival is an annual treat. Dubbed The Glastonbury of Craft, the welcoming atmosphere, the anticipation of seeing something new, and the gathering of like-minded friends is irresistible.
Now in its third decade, Craft Festival has grown from a small local idea into one of the UK’s most respected and beloved craft events. The event welcomes 200 designer makers across all disciplines, silversmithing, woodwork, ceramics, printmaking, textiles and more and has built a reputation for championing outstanding making in a warm, welcoming festival atmosphere.
Today, Craft Festival is one of the UK’s most vibrant and respected craft and design events, attracting visitors from across the country who come to explore Bovey Tracey, and to enjoy an extraordinary gathering of talent.
Beyond the makers and workshops, Craft Festival 2026 offers a feast of entertainment, including:
A thought provoking talks programme curated by Heritage Crafts
Demonstrations by some of the UK’s most inspirational makers
A Craft Cinema presented in a Solar Powered, Vintage Caravan
