Are we in your diary or on your calendar or in your phone organiser? Hoping to see you in August (or on 31st July!).

We hope that you managed to make it to the Dacre Hall during August - and that you found exactly what you were looking for from the best of arts and crafts in the north. See you in 2025.

Love these from Floral Linings - leather-bound, hand-stitched and fabulous fabric end "papers" too.

A quick reminder if you're planning your weekend.

Whether you're after lamp shades (hand-made paper) or lamp bases (textured ceramics), we might have just what you're looking for.

Judith Favret's paper shades and Carolyn Marr's ceramics.

Different textile crafts and a wide range of materials - worth a look at our exhibition in the Dacre Hall until Tuesday 27th August.

Bread "bowls" and barbecue skewers - all set for some summer sunshine.

A quick reminder. Our "showcase of the best of northern arts and crafts" - why not come and see for yourself?

It's those little details that make something hand-crafted unique.

Planning your weekend? Why not have a run out to Lanercost Priory, visit our exhibition, have tea (or lunch) at the Café next door and then have a mooch around Brampton? The stained glass windows at Brampton Church are highly recommended.

Barbara Runkel's wooden utensils, boards, bowls and much more are already selling really well. Don't miss your favourite - call in to see us soon.

Not the most practical of wet weather boots but they're lovely all the same. Thanks, Cazz Nash.

Carolyn Marr's ceramics look gorgeous in the sunlight from the Dacre Hall windows.

Beautiful "lampworked" glass from another previous guest now selling on the stage. Thank you, Suzanne Tweddle.

Last year's guest is this year's seller on the stage - and these are exquisite. Thank you, Lily Greenwood

The Gallery area (behind the Hall's stage) is home to textiles, photographs, paintings, prints, cards and gorgeous hand-made, leather-bound journals.

A few of our favourite things - and we have a LOT of favourite things in this exhibition.

After a great (and sunny) first day and then a lovely evening opening event, we'll be back from 10am today and every day until Tuesday 27th August.

[craftsmen at the priory @CraftsmenPriory]

All done and set for tomorrow morning - open from 10am and then for four weeks.

More pictures and posts to follow once we've had a look at everything in the Dacre Hall.
