Alongside the exhibitors there were also craft workshops for adults, a focus on heritage crafts , activities for children, talks, plus film screenings in the world’s smallest cinema - all accompanied by a soundtrack of live music and delicious street food courtesy of local specialists. 

“It was our biggest Festival yet; we had over 10,000 very happy visitors over the three days,” said Sarah James MBE, Director of Craft Festival.

“We were delighted to see so many people visiting Bovey Tracey and enjoying meeting the makers. Over 1000 children enjoyed free activities in The Craft Club. It was packed with young makers!. I can’t wait to do it all again next year”.
