2026 Events

This summer, over 100 talented craftspeople and skilled artisans will be showcasing their handmade products at the Essex County Craft Show 2026, taking place for the second year running within the beautiful grounds of Ingatestone Hall.
From pottery to woodwork, fused glass to basketry, watercolour art to lino printing and everything in between, you can find something exquisite to add to your home, or commission a bespoke piece in one of the Craft Marquees.
Visit the Food & Drink Village to sample delights and purchase from food producers from across the region.
There will be a range of craft demonstrations and bookable workshops to get the creative juices flowing or maybe you will even discover a new hobby.
We will also have live music, delicious food and licensed bars.
​
Saturday 27th June and Sunday 28th June – 10am to 5pm, both days
