Some 200 talented designers and makers from across Bristol will showcase their work, providing visitors with a wonderful opportunity to shop local and support our city’s artistic community.

Made in Bristol curates a diverse array of handcrafted products from talented local artisans, featuring designers, knitters, woodworkers and ceramicists. Each stall bursts with personality, inviting shoppers to discover individual, special gifts whilst engaging directly with the makers.

Established in 2008, Made in Bristol was created to nurture independent creative businesses in a city increasingly dominated by big retailers.

The fair’s founder, Bryony Morgan, said: I am constantly amazed by the talent and creativity that fills our city.”

The Gift Fair is dedicated to promoting this unique artistry and craftsmanship which makes Bristol special.

As a cherished tradition among locals, the fair boasts a lively atmosphere filled with live demonstrations and interactive workshops, ensuring that the quest for unique gifts is enjoyable and memorable.
