Summer arts & crafts fair comes to Northampton Museum & Art Gallery

24 July 2025

Northampton Museum & Art Gallery will be bursting with creativity as the Summer Arts & Crafts Fair visits on Saturday 26 July, from 11am to 4pm. 

This free event offers a fun, family-friendly day out and a chance to explore an exciting mix of handcrafted goods, delicious food and local talent - all in one vibrant setting.

With over 40 local artists and makers taking part, visitors can browse and shop a wide variety of unique items, from jewellery, prints and home décor to fused glass, ceramics, knitted gifts, and eco-friendly designs. There will also be locally authored books and artwork inspired by Northampton's own landmarks and natural landscapes.

Beyond the stalls visitors can enjoy a range of artisan treats including award-winning local wines, fruit liqueurs, handmade fudge, and a selection of sweet and savoury snacks. 

The Link Café, run by The Lewis Foundation, will be open throughout the day, with additional courtyard food traders serving up Caribbean patties, traditional Indian dishes, fresh coconut water, pineapple smoothies, and more.

Whether you're on the hunt for a special gift, looking to support local creatives, or simply after a fun day out, the Summer Arts & Crafts Fair has something for everyone.
