The Artisan Show at Staunton Harold Hall

Staunton Harold Hall is hosting its fifth summer show, showcasing an "exceptional collection" of high-quality artisans and makers from across the country.

The event runs from Friday 21 August to Sunday 23 August.

Organisers have painstakingly vetted all exhibitors to make sure only the best quality, genuinely handmade are on offer.

As well as a focus on British-made items, The Artisan Show also places a lot of emphasis on sustainability and supporting local businesses in the community.

The team said: "Set against the breath-taking backdrop of Staunton Harold Hall, this magnificent event unfolds in front of the picturesque Grade I listed Georgian mansion and within its stunning grounds.

"The grandeur of the hall, the sweeping lawns, and the timeless beauty of the estate create an atmosphere that truly elevates the show – a setting as inspiring as the craftsmanship on display."
