TELEVISION presenter Kirstie Allsopp is set to bring The Handmade Fair to Ragley Hall for the first time this spring.

Having already enjoyed three successful years at Hampton Court Palace, the fair is launching the second event at Ragley in May.

Craft enthusiasts will soon be able to put their creative skills to the test during the event at the Palladian mansion on Friday 12 to Sunday, May 14.

The fair will bring together Britain’s best handmade products, crafts supplies, and artisan foods.

The programme will include live ‘craft-offs’ from the experts at Mollie Makes magazine, questions and answer sessions, demonstrations from some of the country’s best-known makers, and a series of hands-on workshops where visitors can learn new skills such as willow weaving, upholstery, needle-felting and calligraphy.

Allsopp will be top bill on the Friday, before handing over the reins to Liz Earle, skincare specialist and founder of the multi-award winning Fairtrade jewellery range, and Patrick Grant, British designer and judge on The Great British Sewing Bee.

The event will feature more than 150 hand-picked exhibitors, each selling beautiful products, materials, and tools, as well as delicious food and drink stalls.

Freya Cromarty, sales and show manager at Brand Events, said: "Over the last few years, The Handmade Fair has become a renowned success and we’re thrilled to be expanding to Warwickshire. It’s a great event to be a part of and our visitors will come away with tonnes of inspiration and everything they need to make their life and home more beautiful."
