Made in Bristol Gift Fair at Colston Hall on Saturday 24th & Sunday 25th November 2018
Posted on: 22 Nov 2018Celebrate the creation and innovation of the best of the region's locally made artisanal products when the Made in Bristol Gift Fair returns to Colston Hall for the weekend of Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th November 2018.
Making a triumphant tenth year return (and if that isn't something to celebrate then we don't know what is), this free event is the city's biggest and best showcase of the creative spirit and entrepreneurial drive of inspiring, locally crafted items.
And with over 200 makers presenting their wares - including jewellers, printmakers, weavers, leather-makers and carpenters - we're pretty sure you'll be suitably galvanized for a good ol' wander round and inspired for a few gift ideas for Crimbo prezzies or yourself (and why not?).
A platform for the highest quality locally handmade gifts, it also give you a unique insight into the creative process as well as the opportunity for a chinwag with the talented folk who actually created them.
Taking place in the foyer of Colston Hall (yep, it's still called that until some wise marketing bod comes up with a replacement moniker that won't offend such historically lightweight sensibilities), this is the perfect prezzie-picking parade and a chance to wallow in the region's exemplary artisanal talent.
November's event takes place on Saturday 24th from 10am to 6pm and Sunday 25th from 10am to 4pm, with a further two more to follow in December on Saturday 1st and Saturday 8th from 10am to 4pm on both days.

Colston Hall is located at Colston Street, Bristol, BS1 5AR. Tel. 0117 203 4040
