Join us this October to celebrate contemporary craft and conviviality and explore a curated selection of work by 80 exceptional makers from across Scotland.

 

Mark your calendars for a spectacular nine-day event at Edinburgh’s City Art Centre from Saturday 11 – Sunday 19 October 2025. HARVEST: Contemporary Craft Fair is an ambitious showroom and multi-disciplinary selling exhibition that offers a rare opportunity to see and purchase a vibrant cross-section of contemporary craft being made in Scotland today.

 

From contemporary furniture to fine jewellery and ceramics, discover limited-edition pieces from leading independent makers and studios. Find woven cushions and quilted textiles alongside contemporary basketry, glass serving ware, specially created lighting for interiors and handmade rugs, all of which will be available to buy.

 

Just steps from Waverley Station, the Fair reimagines the traditional craft fair model through a dynamic interweaving of showrooms, exhibition and retail spaces. It is complemented by a rich programme of craft workshops and events designed to bring people together, be inspired and experience the joy of making.

 

 

Accessibility

The main entrance has level access and there is an accessible toilet on the ground floor. For full access details including visual and sensory guidance please visit City Art Centre's website.

We have been notified by the City Art Centre that the building's only lift has a serious engineering fault and will not be operational during HARVEST: Contemporary Craft Fair. This means that access to our gallery space on the fourth floor will be via escalator (up) and stairs (down). 

We are committed to increasing access to our programme and events and are deeply disappointed by this change in the venue’s accessibility.

We are currently exploring ways to adapt our programme to provide opportunities for everyone to have meaningful experiences with contemporary craft at HARVEST. This could involve moving our workshops to an accessible space and presenting aspects of HARVEST online. 

If you would like to discuss any questions or access requirements, please reach out to the Craft Scotland team at programmes@craftscotland.org.
