Handmade Chelsea 2025 partners with Chelsea Design Quarter Autumn Edit

Crafting the Future: Handmade Chelsea 2025, in partnership with Chelsea Design Quarter, returns to Chelsea Old Town Hall from 6–8 November. 

Handmade Chelsea is back! One of the UK’s longest-running and most established craft and design fairs is returning for its 18th season.

Celebrating the Nation’s Finest Makers in an Iconic Location 

For nearly two decades, Handmade Chelsea has selected the brightest and best making talent from across the British Isles, and beyond. The 2025 show – a 3-day celebration of exquisite UK making, running from the 6th-8th November – will present over 120 outstanding proponents of craft.

In the unrivalled setting of Chelsea Old Town Hall, this annual event will showcase every possible craft discipline from jewellery to handprinted and handwoven textiles; handcrafted furniture to decorative glass; functional and decorative ceramics; fine art, print and illustration to innovative and original fashion.

Faithfully Supporting Established UK Talent 

Handmade Chelsea has always showcased the finest, most established craftspeople in the UK. The 2025 show will be no exception! This year also welcomes the first appearance of The British Society of Enamellers who are creating their own dedicated gallery.

Fostering the Making Stars of the Future 

While faithfully supporting UK Making in the present, Handmade Chelsea has always fostered and championed those who will carry the torch of UK making into the future. With areas dedicated to new makers and the annual appearance of The New Ashgate Gallery Rising Stars, visitors can meet the next generation of making talent!

Handmade Chelsea in Partnership 

Handmade Chelsea is thrilled to be partnering with Chelsea Design Quarter for 2025, and also The Society of Designer Craftsmen and The House Directory who will be presenting awards at the show.
