Spinningfields is to host this year’s Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair. Situated in an elegant purpose-built pavilion on Hardman Boulevard, in the heart of Manchester, the fair provides a unique shopping experience where original contemporary craft can be purchased and commissioned directly from the UK’s leading designer-makers. It’s one of the only events of its kind in the north, where trade buyers and the public can browse and buy.

Now in its second year, the fair features over 140 exhibitors showcasing the finest works of contemporary craft, including jewellery, interiors, fashion accessories, ceramics, glass, metal-work, furniture and more. Established makers and emerging talent have been selected by a panel of experts to ensure work is both innovative and of the highest quality.

If you’d like to go along I have three pairs of tickets to give away. Leave a comment or send me an email at info [at] indiequarter [dot] com to be entered into the prize draw. Competition closes Friday 25 September.

Last year’s event was a great success and I’d highly recommend it.
