A jam-packed programme means there’s something for everyone at Craft Festival Cheltenham. With creative wellbeing workshops spread across the three days, crafters can learn how to work with all sorts of new art mediums – trying everything from calligraphy to screen printing.

All workshops cost £20 including materials and must be booked in advance. Please note, entrance to the festival is not included and admission tickets must be bought separately.

Meanwhile, little crafters can enjoy free drop-in sessions and art activities, hosted by the resident artists at Unit Twelve Gallery’s exhibition.
