London Craft Week 2026 brings together hundreds of artists, thousands of remarkable objects and hundreds of thousands of visitors from across the UK and the globe in a city-wide celebration of making.
A key highlight of this year is Sotheby’s Crafted, a major public programme at their Bond Street galleries including displays, talks, workshops and the Secret Ceramics anonymous charity auction. There will also be a debut activation at JW Anderson’s Pimlico Road Store, as well as a guest festival edit by renowned founder Jonathan Anderson. London Craft Week celebrates making in all its forms: from the debut of the Building Crafts Series, which celebrates craft and conservation in architecture and offers rare behind-the-scenes tours of iconic buildings including St Paul’s Cathedral and the Palace of Westminster, to international showcases from countries such as South Korea, Thailand, Italy and Egypt.
The wide-ranging programme showcases how the definition of craft continues to evolve, from wig-making demonstrations at the London Coliseum to cheese-sculpting at Paxton & Whitfield and circular economy initiatives in Park Royal. Spanning local, national and global talent, London Craft Week is the destination this May.
Flint Culture is leading media relations and digital strategy for the festival, securing print and broadcast coverage to showcase the festival’s community of makers from 35 countries across more than 70 disciplines.
