The Creative Craft Show and The Stitching Show 2026 returned to Farnborough International Exhibition Centre, bringing together 100 exhibitors alongside workshops, live demonstrations and hands-on creative experiences. From sewing, quilting and embroidery to jewellery making, papercraft, mixed media and more, the show offered inspiration for makers of all abilities.

Growing by 14% in show attendance since 2025, thousands of visitors attended the event to shop from specialist craft retailers, learn new techniques from expert demonstrators and explore a full programme of engaging creative features throughout the event.

Now in its fourth year at the venue, organiser of The Creative Craft Show and The Stitching Show Simon Burns, Managing Director of ICHF Events, said: “We’ve had a fantastic experience working with Farnborough International. From the very first contact, the team have been incredibly professional, helpful and accommodating, making the whole process seamless and straightforward. The venue itself is exceptionally easy to work with flexible, well-equipped space that makes organising and delivering an event a real pleasure. The team are always on hand to support, quick to respond and genuinely committed to making things work, nothing ever feels like too much trouble. What really stands out is the combination of an excellent venue and an outstanding team behind it. Their attention to detail, willingness to help and can-do attitude makes Farnborough International a venue we can confidently recommend. A brilliant venue, made even better by a fantastic team.”
