Living Crafts and Covid 19

Based on our current understanding of Covid 19, Living Crafts is taking measures to ensure the safety of all visitors and exhibitors at the show. The size of the main tents has been increased to help with social distancing and stewards will be placed at the main tent entrances to help control the number of visitors flowing through. We are allowing extra room between the outside display and there will be plenty of opportunities for people to use hand sanitisers around the showground. Workshops will be structured so there is sensible social distancing and there will be more outside catering with plenty of space to sit down and enjoy your food. These precautions may well change in the coming months of course, but we will be working hard to ensure your visit to Living Crafts is as safe and enjoyable as possible.

Special features include the Living Crafts Showcase Pavilion, a Living History demonstration and the 2020 Sculpture Spectacular.
