This event provides a dedicated platform for creators, makers, and hobbyists to showcase their skills in a professional exhibition setting. Set within the iconic large marquees of the Farnley Tyas Showground, the exhibition celebrates the meticulous detail and passion that goes into traditional and contemporary crafts. For 2026, the exhibition has expanded its categories to include a wider range of digital media alongside traditional disciplines, reflecting the evolving nature of art in the modern era. Participants in the exhibition range from primary school children entering their first Lego creations to semi-professional photographers capturing the rugged beauty of the West Yorkshire landscape.
