Butler Gallery Craft Fair 2026
Showcasing Makers of Quality Irish Craft

This November, Butler Gallery will be hosting our 5th Craft Fair which will take place in the elegant setting of our historic building Evans’ Home, including our Main Gallery, Learning Centre, and our first-floor galleries, each offering a unique setting.

Now in its 5th year, we are delighted to see growth year-on-year in both footfall and interest from different crafters and makers. This year we have decided to move the dates a bit later, the 13th, 14th & 15th of November. We are also excited to introduce a food element to the Craft Fair, expanding on a small selection of food vendors last year who sold artisan foods to be consumed off-site, these retail food traders were in our downstairs Learning Centre, re-named our ‘Food Hall’.

This is a great opportunity to get your Christmas shopping done early whilst supporting local Irish handmade craft from ceramics to jewellery, glass, textiles, candles, body care, wood, food and mixed media.
