RHS Garden Hyde Hall, near Chelmsford, Essex
The beautiful RHS Garden, Hyde Hall, again provides the perfect backdrop for our Craft & Design Show.
This lovely show features an impressive range of carefully selected exhibitors showcasing their work in a series of carpeted pavilion marquees, set within the stunning RHS Hyde Hall gardens.
Shoppers love to choose from a wonderful selection of handcrafted products designed and created by some of the UK’s most talented artists, craftworkers and designer-makers. Work includes artwork and sculpture, ceramics, jewellery, leather-ware, clothing and textiles, glassware, woodwork and metalwork as well as some amazing speciality foods, and so much more…
Have you “always wondered how it’s made”? This is a chance to watch some of our talented exhibitors demonstrating and explaining their skills and techniques. If you’re looking for something unique, or a special commission, you can discuss this with the makers and designers themselves.
Although this vibrant event is staged mainly in a series of covered pavilions, there are also some superb exhibitors and displays in the beautiful outdoor garden areas as you approach the event site. With all this, as well as lovely refreshments and the spectacular gardens of RHS Hyde Hall, what better way is there to spend the day?
This fantastic event celebrates all aspects of Art, Craft and Design. N.B. We do not include any bought-in or imported craft products at this event so you can be sure that you’re buying original work, direct from some of the most talented artisans in the country.
RHS Hyde Hall has a strict ‘no dogs’ policy (with the exception of registered support dogs).
