Farnborough Craft Guild "The Friendly Craft Guid" ABOUT US · EVENTS · JOIN US · CONTACT US

The Guild holds craft events during the year at various locations.

We only include hand crafted individual designs, made by our members, so we can insure the high quality of the items.

Often entry to our shows is free or we may charge a small fee. Our main aim is to promote the interest in crafts and the skills involved.

All our members are able to tell you how they make any item or they may be demonstrating on the day.
