THE BIG CRAFT EVENT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2013; WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU TO OUR NEXT EVENT.

Dates: 2026 dates are Easter Monday 6 April 2026 and Sunday 15 November 2026. (NOTE: We are usually Easter Sunday, this year we are Easter bank Holiday Monday)

Open: 10am to 4pm

Sewing Machines (November date): During our November event there will be many sewing machines from Lincoln-based Couling Sewing Machines to try (and deals!). Come and chat to Steph, Alan, Steve and the team. They will also have haberdashery etc.

Venue: Epic Centre, Lincolnshire Showground, Lincoln LN2 2NA. (Click here for our Location Page with map.) 

Parking: Free - and lots of it!

Entrance: £3.50 per person, under 16s free, payable at the door. We take cash (correct money really helpful please) but we can also take card payments. If our disabled visitors have a carer with them, the carer is admitted free.

Dogs: Assistance dogs are of course allowed in. With other dogs please be aware this is a busy event and paws may be at risk of being trod on. Ideally we prefer no dogs but a carried dog is fine. Please don’t bring your dog for training reasons.

Refreshments: There will be an upstairs cafe (lift available) offering delicious cakes, sandwiches and hot / cold drinks. This is run by a separate contractor.

Disabled access / parking: Disabled parking available, plus the Epic Centre has easy disabled access. The loos are suitable for those with mobility issues. Contact the organiser if you require additional planning in advance. The venue usually has a wheelchair available for visitor use
