Handmade Chelsea – The Contemporary Craft and Design Fair
In light of the Government’s recent announcement regarding events and conferences not allowed to open for another 6 months, it is with a heavy heart we announce that HANDMADE CHELSEA will not take place this year as an in-person event at Chelsea Old Town Hall.
We know this is very disappointing news that comes at a hard time, particularly for the independent designer-makers we work with, however we are pleased to be able to provide continual support through our very first interactive virtual fair.
Taking place from 10 – 15 November 2020, Handmade Chelsea Online – The Interactive Virtual Craft Fair will be an opportunity for designer-makers to socially interact with their customers, which is the key value of craft fairs.
To register to attend / Apply to exhibit, simply follow the link here.
Ticket-holders and Exhibitors for this year’s Chelsea fair will be entitled to full refunds.
We will be in touch with you soon.
Please join our mailing list to receive all of the latest news about our events and makers.
