Who remembers our very first Summer Show wasn’t it a scorcher 🥵

The atmosphere was buzzing, and it was such a joy to see so many of you enjoying the experience with your friends and family, relaxing on the lawns overlooking the lakes.

From the wonderful artisan makers and talented demonstrators to the delicious food, live music, and beautiful surroundings, the event brought the community together to celebrate quality craftsmanship.

Those special moments are exactly why we do what we do, and seeing so many happy faces made all the hard work worthwhile.

We’d love to hear your memories of that first show, were you there? Please Share your favourite moments in the comments below!

Hello 👋

We’ve had a fair amount of new followers recently, thank you so much for your interest and for supporting handmade 🙌 🙏

We’d just like to share with you a little bit about how The Artisan Show started!

The Artisan Show began with a simple conversation between Leigh and Mr Blunt, the owner of Staunton Harold Hall, back in 2021 Together with Caroline, John’s daughter, we discussed how we could help promote events and celebrate exceptional craftsmanship at Staunton Harold.

As makers ourselves (well Leigh is, I’m just behind the scenes) we are passionate about quality handmade products and everything they represent. We wanted to create an experience that people could truly enjoy, one that focuses on quality rather than quantity. Drawing on our own experiences, we carefully curated a unique event that showcases the very best of artisan talent.

Five years on, The Artisan Show has become a tremendous success. It continues to grow, support independent makers, and, most importantly, inspire others. We are incredibly excited about this year’s events and everything we have planned.

If you appreciate quality handmade craftsmanship, we would love you to join us. Be sure to keep an eye out for the exciting new events coming in 2027

Last year, we were delighted to be invited to host a small showcase of selected makers twice a year, in May and September, at the picturesque in Derbyshire.

Mercia Marina is a destination like no other, With its unique mix of independent shops, beautiful waterside views, and countryside walks, it offers visitors a relaxing place to explore and unwind. In fact, it was one of the very first venues where we exhibited with Metal Manipulation over 10 years ago.

The first Artisan Pop-Up of the year takes place this weekend, where you’ll discover a carefully selected group of our guild members, showcasing their unique handmade creations, along with live music and refreshments.

A beautiful, local place to visit this weekend, right here on our doorstep in Derbyshire.

We’d love for you to come along, browse the stalls, meet the makers, and enjoy everything the marina has to offer.

No booking required, it’s free to visit ,and everyone is welcome, (including your dog!)

This Saturday 10am – 4pm

Behind every handmade piece is an artist or maker with a passion, and the handmade community deserves to be celebrated every day, not only at events 👏

When you shop small, you’re supporting dreams, creativity, and the people brave enough to turn their talent into something meaningful.

And let’s be honest… a little handmade treat now and then feels so good! 🫶

Over the past 5 years, I’ve collected so many beautiful pieces from our shows, in fact, last year I even did all of our Christmas shopping with purchases from independent makers at the events!

Here’s just a few of my own, favourite pieces, although there is so much more and we really love it all! 😍










⭐️We’d love to hear from you…

What’s your favourite handmade item you’ve ever purchased, and who created it? 🤗
