Devon Guild of Craftsmen


BOVEY Tracey’s contemporary crafts venue has two exhibition galleries presenting the best from the South West, UK and beyond. A large shop sells an extensive range of craft to suit all tastes and the friendly café, with rooftop terrace, serves meals, snacks and cakes made in-house from locally sourced ingredients. Exciting exhibitions are planned for the year ahead, offering engaging and educational experiences for all. This spring (March – May), Old Skills New Ways will explore creative work by young people made in a series of outdoor camps led by six local woodworkers. This is followed by a Peep into the World of Puppets (May-July) an exhibition exploring the history of this richly entertaining craft using large, silly, old and modern puppets. There’s also the Guild Members’ Summer Show, A Taste of Japan and the inspirational Christmas show to look forward to! The café is a great place to meet with friends


and family, whether you want a cream tea or a full meal. Varied diets are catered for, including


vegan and gluten free. There’s a children’s play corner and free WiFi. Freehand is


the learning programme of talks and workshops run by the Guild, placing artists and makers directly in schools and colleges as part of their charitable work, as well as providing a visitor ‘maker space’ for every exhibition. Their educational scheme inspires new communities of makers while attracting wider audiences to the town. Exhibitions are free and are accompanied by


a range of craft and making events including free family activities. Pick up a brochure or visit www.crafts.org.uk


for details. Free admission. Open 7 days a week, 10am – 5.30pm.
