About
Meet local artists and makers and shop their beautiful, handmade craft pieces. From textiles to ceramics, paintings to prints, and plenty more in between, you're sure to find something unique.
Entry to the craft fair is free, with stalls throughout the visitor centre. Normal admission applies beyond the visitor centre.
Following a popular collaboration in 2024, North Down Craft Collective are back at WWT Castle Espie this year for 3 large craft markets. As well as an Easter Fair, the makers will be returning for an August Craft Month Fair and Christmas Fair later in the year.
Established in 2013, North Down Craft Collective brings together artists and makers in the Ards and North Down borough. What started as a monthly market in Holywood has now become a collective of creatives showcasing their work through exhibitions, pop-ups and fairs.
Many of the artists and makers take inspiration from the landscape and wildlife in the borough and these pieces will make up a large part of the work on show at Castle Espie.
