The British Craft Trade Fair (BCTF) is set to return to Harrogate in April 2022, celebrating its 45th birthday
Planning for BCTF is in full swing as the new owners, Kerrison Exhibitions, invest in the show’s return to the Yorkshire Event Centre (YEC) for the first time since 2019, for what is set to be its biggest show yet.
Taking place from 10 to 12 April 2022 at the YEC Harrogate, the fair will welcome thousands of trade buyers looking for the latest collections for their stores from more than 300 carefully vetted designer makers showcasing the very best of British handmade craft and giftware.
Uptake for the show has been strong, with spaces in both the Newcomers Gallery and Post Newcomers Gallery being limited due to high demand.
Makers participating in the show can also take advantage of additional benefits such as: inclusion in the online trade catalogue; online mentoring sessions to help prepare them for the show; and access to newcomers’ guides and help audios.
“BCTF has a fantastic following of thousands of UK buyers and galleries already, and we’ll be supplementing direct mail and email invitations to these regular visitors with promotional campaigns on social media and across all key press titles”
