The fair, which is an annual event held in Edenbridge, will have traders selling glass, textiles, woodwork, jewellery, art and metalwork, many of whom are based in Kent.

This year, there will also be a new addition to the fair.

Visitors can head to the brand new Potters’ Village, where contestants from a well-known pottery TV show will be displaying their work.

The experts will also be challenging each other to pot throwing, clay modelling and sculpture building, with visitors welcome to watch and cheer on their favourite contestants.

If you want to get involved yourself, there will be a number of workshops and demonstrations, including clay wheels, raku throwing, and miniature creations.

The fair is set within the castle grounds where visitors can explore the award-winning gardens. Picture: Hever Castle and Gardens

During the fair, visitors are also welcome to stroll through Hever Castle’s award-winning gardens and play areas, set in 150 acres of grounds, and grab a bite from one of the food and drink stalls.

Craft in Focus will take place from Thursday, May 18 to Sunday, May 21 at Hever Castle in Edenbridge. You can book tickets online here.
