EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT

For the very first time, The Artisan Show is coming to the historic grounds of Maxstoke Castle—and it's set to be an event like no other.

May 16th & 17th 2026

Visitors can enjoy our signature showcase of exceptionally high-quality British handmade and heritage crafts, alongside an exciting new addition to the show.

Bringing together two worlds—crafts practiced centuries ago and those still used today—we are delighted to welcome @knights_of_honour_reenactment.

Join us at @maxstokecastle as we step back in time to 14th-century England, where the Knights of Honour will present a fully immersive living history encampment. Experience demonstrations of traditional medieval crafts including fletching, candle making, cooking displays, ceramics, apothecary practices, a working forge, and much more.

This is a rare opportunity to meet the makers, step into history, and discover the remarkable in a truly unique setting.
