The festival opens its doors at 10am today for three days where more than 200 of the UK’s finest independent designer-makers will be heading to Bovey Tracey to take part in one of the best craft festivals in Europe.

The organisers of this award-winning event met with its sponsors at the Devon Guild of Craftsmen to share their excitement of being part of this year’s festival which has been hailed as the top craft event in the country, attracting visitors from across Europe and beyond.

Sarah James, the director of Craft Festival, said: ‘Our aim is to raise the profile of craft, to develop educational initiatives for the wider community which draw families, children, young people, craftspeople, collectors, and business along with the general public and tourists to Bovey Tracey.
