Craft NI is delighted to partner with Antrim & Newtownabbey Council’s Garden Show Ireland 2025 to bring contemporary local craft makers to this annual outdoor celebration of plants and gardens.

In its third year at Garden Show Ireland, the Craft Village is now a firm fixture in the show and an integral part of the overall visitor experience, which includes plants for sale, creative garden ideas, artisan foods and a lively programme of demos and masterclasses.

We invite applications from craft makers for the 2025 Show to sell and/or provide craft demonstrations onsite.

Who can Apply?

Craft makers who work in Craft NI’s supported disciplines – please take a moment to review the disciplines on our website here: https://craftni.org/about-craft-ni/who-we-support/

Craft makers do not have to be resident in Northern Ireland, and applications from craft makers resident in Antrim & Newtwnabbey Borough Council are particularly welcome, as part of the Council’s work to promote and support the work of makers in the borough
