GNCCF 2022 exhibitor Boasting a national reputation, Great Northern Events organises the foremost selling fairs in the UK – including our flagship Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair and GNCCFonline. We offer makers an unrivalled opportunity to put their work in front of an eager and savvy audience in a way that suits them and their buyers best. Now in its 17th year, the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair (GNCCF) is the place in the North of England to sell work to a loyal and knowledgeable audience of craft buyers and collectors.
Over 150 of the UK’s best designer-makers are selected by a panel of craft experts for the in-person GNCCF, which takes place in October at Manchester’s iconic and stunning venue, Victoria Baths.
“I’ve never participated in any other show that has been such a success for me and my practice.” GNCCF 2023 exhibitor
The GNCCF is complemented by GNCCFonline Christmas edition in December. GNCCFonline offer a more affordable and accessible way to present and market your work under the GNCCF brand and is also good for GNCCF exhibitors to follow up their presence at GNCCF.
