Made in Bristol Gift Fairs

This event has passed

Shining a light on local creativity – Made in Bristol return to Bristol Beacon with their annual pre-Christmas Gift Fairs.

Made in Bristol once again present up to 200 designer-makers as they take over the foyer of Bristol Beacon this Christmas with three bumper weekends packed full of local talent. You’re sure to find a gift to give someone you love this Christmas.

The free family-friendly Gift Fairs offer the chance to support designer-makers, including wood-workers, potters, weavers, jewellers and printmakers. It offers visitors the chance to shop local and to find truly individual, handmade gifts. Meet the maker and buy direct from the artist.

Made in Bristol and Bristol Beacon are working hard to create a friendly, relaxed, safe shopping environment within the up to date covid-restrictions. You can once again browse in person, appreciating the quality of the work, ask questions directly and meet the designer. Supporting small independent businesses at this time is ever important. Made in Bristol celebrates the ethos of thoughtful, conscious gift buying.
