Craft Fair
A folk festival is not complete without handmade crafts, clothes, unique jewellery, music stalls and the chatter, hustle and bustle that go with them.
The Swanage Folk Festival Craft Fair is on Sandpit Field, featuring seventy stalls with a wonderful variety of local crafts and gifts from further afield. Jackets and coats from Nepal and Venezuela, trousers and shirts from India, silver and gemstone jewellery from all across the globe.
T-shirts in an amazing array of dazzling designs just crying out to be bought, plus our own festival T shirt (from the info tent). This Craft fair will fulfil all your needs with musical instruments, books, pottery, soaps, records, paintings, and more.
The food stalls will tempt every palate, there’s coffee and tea to refresh your taste buds and the festival bar.
Enjoy ambling around the stalls, have a beer, get lunch or even breakfast if you are up that early!
Come and enjoy the craft fair at one of Dorset’s largest folk festivals.
