Discover unique, limited-edition pieces and meet the makers at Handmade Oxford

Handmade Oxford returns to Waterperry Gardens for its sixth edition in June 2026.

Presented by Handmade in Britain, the event has become one of the UK’s most respected craft fairs, bringing together more than 175 carefully curated designer-makers from across the country.

Spanning disciplines including ceramics, jewellery, furniture, textiles, glass and sculpture, the showcase highlights both established names and emerging talent shaping the future of British craft.

Set against the backdrop of one of Oxfordshire’s most picturesque garden venues – familiar to many from the BBC series Make it to Market – the festival offers far more than a traditional exhibition.

Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the creative process through live demonstrations, hands-on workshops and a programme of live music, alongside a thoughtfully selected line-up of regional food and drink producers.

“This sixth edition will be our most ambitious to date,” says founder Piyush Suri. “We’re bringing together an outstanding selection of hand-picked makers, celebrating excellence in contemporary craft and design.”

At its heart, Handmade Oxford is about connection – linking makers directly with collectors, design enthusiasts and curious visitors. Each piece on display reflects a commitment to skill, sustainability and individuality, offering an antidote to mass production and throwaway culture.

The event continues its partnership with the Ashmolean Museum, which will award a prize to an exhibitor, providing a rare opportunity to retail within the museum shop. Additional awards from leading craft and interiors organisations further recognise innovation and excellence across the show.

With early bird tickets now available, visitors can choose from festival-only entry or combined garden access, with VIP options offering added perks including priority entry and reserved parking.

Blending craftsmanship, culture and the beauty of the gardens in full bloom, Handmade Oxford offers a destination day out – one where visitors can discover unique, limited-edition pieces and meet the makers behind them.
