Crafts Expo 

 

 

2020 CRAFT ENTRIES NOW CLOSED

 

The Crafts Expo facilitates the promotion of new and old crafts through competition, exhibition, demonstrations, education and sale of works. It enables exhibitors of all ages and all skill levels to showcase their unique craft exhibits and compete for the ultimate accolade of being crowned Champion of Champions of the Crafts Expo.

The 2020 Crafts Expo theme is Market Gardens and we can't wait to see what entries in this Class you clever crafters come up with!

The Crafts Expo caters for around 20 different crafts, including a special subsection for those with disabilities. With around 1400 entries each year, the Crafts Expo is one of the most entered Sections of the Show. The quality of the exhibits is testimony to the hours of dedication and workmanship of exhibitors in their respective crafts. Importantly, the Crafts Expo also caters for those who are just willing ‘to have a go’!  All exhibits are judged (unless disqualified) and all exhibits are displayed.

Each subsection within the Crafts Expo caters for many skill levels which may include:

• Beginners (less than 2 years experience in that craft);
• Non-Professional (more than 2 years experience in that craft);
• Professional (those that make a living out of their craft);
• Seniors (non-professional, more than 65 years of age);
• Students (including College, High School and Primary levels);
• Children (not yet at School).

The Crafts Expo (Map Ref E14) opens from 8.30am to 8.00pm on Friday and Saturday and from 8.30am to 6.00pm on Sunday.
