Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair (GNCCF) is the largest and most prestigious craft fair in the North and one of the leading fairs in the UK. Join for its 18th annual edition over the weekend of 16-19 October in the stunning historic Victoria Baths in Manchester.

GNCCF brings together 200 of the most talented makers from across the UK, from established artists to new graduate talent, all selected for their excellence by a panel of craft experts. It's an unrivalled opportunity to browse and buy a wide array of high-quality, one-off handmade pieces including ceramics (31 artists listed on their website), jewellery and silver, interior and fashion textiles, glass, basketmaking, prints, wood, furniture & more.

Victoria Baths' stunning Edwardian tiled swimming pools, balconies, changing cubicles and Turkish baths are used to great effect as the backdrop for the exhibitors' stands. Visitors will love exploring the venue as much as discovering the wonderful craft on show.

Make a day of it! As well as browsing the craft on sale and meeting the makers, there are maker demos and free drop-in workshops. And when you need a break from shopping, enjoy a delicious snack from our pop-up café.
