The Stamford Artisans Guild Ltd is a not-for-profit company managed by local artisans from Stamford and the surrounding areas, and in 2015 is launching regular artisan arts and crafts events in Oundle. On Saturday 11 April 2015 the Guild will hold the first of its four arts and crafts events in 2015 at Victoria Hall in Oundle from 10am to 4pm, showcasing the creative talent of local artisans. The Guild started as an informal group five years ago with the aim of creating a local crafts community and a forum for creative folks in the area to meet regularly.

The Guild organised its first handmade event in December 2009 at Stamford Arts Centre and since has gone from strength to strength. What makes Stamford Artisan Guild arts and crafts events different from other local craft fairs? All the products available at Guild events are exclusively handmade within Stamford and the surrounding area – no bought-in goods or big brand franchises. The local artisans themselves are behind their stalls, so available to talk about their craft and products, and many will also take bespoke commissions to create something unique to your requirements. In the world of mass production, many people prefer a distinctive gift made locally rather than on the other side of the world. By buying locally handmade gifts you are also benefitting the environment by reducing your carbon footprint and supporting local, independent small businesses.

The Guild has a wide range of members, from full-time artisans to part-time hobbyists and those who make and sell purely for charity. Everyone involved with the Guild volunteers their time to help promote local arts and crafts events.

Arts and crafts events organised by the Stamford Artisans Guild will be held at Victoria Hall in Oundle on Saturday, 13 June 2015, Saturday, 10 October 2015 and Saturday, 28 November 2015.
