If you enjoy shopping locally and finding things you are unlikely to see in the usual high street stores, Towcester Craft Collective is worth adding to the diary this October.
Taking place at Towcester Town Hall on Saturday 24th October 2026, the event brings together more than 20 independent makers and stallholders for a relaxed day of handmade gifts, crafts and artisan products.
The Craft Collective has been part of Towcester’s local events calendar for more than 20 years, giving small creative businesses somewhere to showcase what they make and giving visitors the chance to discover something a little different.

More than 20 independent stalls
The October event is expected to feature more than 20 stallholders inside Towcester Town Hall.
The exact traders can vary from event to event, but the Craft Collective welcomes makers across a broad range of categories.
That can include:
Handmade gifts
Jewellery
Art and design
Candles and wax melts
Ceramics and pottery
Knitted and textile items
Home décor
Food and drink
Cakes and confectionery

Personalised gifts
Part of the appeal is not knowing exactly what you might find until you walk through the door.
A long-running Towcester craft fair
Towcester Craft Collective has been bringing makers together for more than 20 years.
The emphasis is on unique and handmade items rather than mass-produced goods, creating a much more personal shopping experience.
You can browse at your own pace, chat to the people behind the stalls and find out a little more about how things have been made.
With Christmas beginning to creep closer by late October, it could also be a useful place to pick up a few early presents.
Support independent makers
Events like this give small local businesses and makers an opportunity to meet customers face to face.
For visitors, that means the person standing behind the table is often the same person who designed, made or created what you are looking at.
That can make finding a gift feel a lot more personal.
You may head in looking for something specific, or simply have a browse and see what catches your eye.
Do you need tickets?
No.
Towcester Craft Collective is free to attend, and there is no need to book in advance.
Simply visit Towcester Town Hall between 10.30am and 3.30pm on Saturday 24th October.
