We will contact you once we have been able to verify your business status from the information you provide on the Buyer Registration Form.

Accepted Answer

Yes but registering for the event is much preferred as this allows us to keep track of expected buyer numbers and plan the event accordingly.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

We expect our brochure to include the vast majority of exhibitors. Our brochure will be given to you free of charge on entry. 
You can also view The Line Up (undefined)page of our website to see our current list of exhibitors. This page will be updated in January each year with new exhibitors in the run up to our next event.

Question 7

Is there a cafe available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is a cafe on site and we will provide seating in various areas throughout the venue.

Question 8

Are your exhibitors high quality artists and makers?

Accepted Answer

Although our venue may be unusual, it has been home to our incredibly successful Art in the Pen event for over fifteen years and Crafts in the Pen for five. Our public events have been graced with over 5000 members of the public over the course of a weekend event.
Our venue allows us to to charge an exhibitor fee that is a fraction of the cost of others. This gives emerging talent an opportunity to showcase their work in an arena that has previously been price prohibitive for many. The venue also creates a more relaxed environment in which to browse and order your stock. 
All our exhibitors have to submit an application so that we can ensure their work is both hand made and high quality.

Question 9

We are having troubles reaching an exhibitor. Can you help?

Accepted Answer

Of course! We will continue to support our exhibitors following the event. Your can view our artist directory (https://www.artisanmadeuk.com/directory)and submit a connection request by clicking the CONNECT button and completing a short form.

If you still can not find who you are looking for, please get in touch and we will do everything we can to help.
