London’s coolest craft fair is back with a stellar line-up of designer-makers – plus DJs and DIY workshops, the Drink, Shop & Do café and the Hot Booze bar.
Pop-culture magazine BUST brings its biannual alternative craft fair back to York Hall on November 22 with 80 stalls of handmade wares (picked from 200 applications).
Household names such as Rob Ryan and Wool and the Gang will rub shoulders with a vibrant mix of UK creatives and their unique products – from ceramics and letterpress cards to glass terrariums and bike-chain jewellery. Examples include beauty products by Hairy Jayne, bold silk cushions by Su Owen, minimal silver jewellery by Wild Fawn, limited-edition prints by Scout Editions and ties by Beau Tie.
See the full list of vendors here.
Shopped till you've dropped? Drink, Shop & Do will be serving sweet and savoury snacks, craft beers and coffee, while pop-up bar Hot Booze will add festive cheer – or, rather, spirits! – with a tasty range of handmade hot cocktails.
