Living Crafts - 50 years of creativity

We are a four day festival of art, craft and design that has supported outstanding contemporary designer-makers and artisans from across the UK since 1974. Immerse yourself in our creative world with live demonstrations, workshops and activities for you to enjoy with friends and family.

We are excited to celebrate our 50th Anniversary from Thursday 9 to Sunday 12 May 2024 in the beautiful parkland of Hatfield House in Hertfordshire.

Join us for a memorable day out.

Entry to Living Crafts includes access to the gardens and extensive parkland of Hatfield House, beautiful woodland walks and the Elizabeth Oak (normally £12). There will be a free shuttle between the Showground and the Stable Courtyard where you can access the famous West Gardens of the Old Palace including the Knot Garden. You will also be able to join one of the hourly guided garden tours which will have either a historical or horticultural focus. These run on the hour from 11 am to 3 pm and there is no need to book.
