Under the Tree: A Curated Christmas Craft Fair Exhibition at MAKE Southwest

We are look­ing for UK-based mak­ers who cre­ate beau­ti­ful hand­made, batch-pro­duced or one-of-a-kind craft for a curat­ed Christ­mas craft fair exhibition.

Under the Tree is an annual Christmas exhibition that takes place in our Jubilee Gallery at MAKE Southwest. With an informal craft fair vibe, it provides a welcoming and festive shopping experience for our Christmas gift buying market. The show offers a fantastic variety of craft disciplines in small scale batch production alongside one-off unique pieces. It is a great opportunity for people to buy quality handmade gifts by talented craftspeople and an inspiring alternative to the high street and online shopping.

  • Beautifully crafted work in a range of prices and sizes to suit different buyers.
  • Work which is ready to display in our purpose-built professionally curated exhibitions space.
  • Batch produced or one of a kind work.
  • A variety of different mediums.
  • Makers with a strong social media presence.
  • Makers who will reciprocate promotion of the exhibition
