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’.
Our aim is to showcase the highest quality Irish craft and food goods submitted from makers around Ireland.
Here we are specifically calling out to Food Vendors providing food sold for off-site consumption, take home goods. Butler Gallery has an on-site café so the provision of ready-to-eat food traders is not required at this time.
Submissions due 5pm Friday 2nd Oct. 2026.
Cost of participating in the Craft Fair for Food Vendors:
- €200 participation fee for spaces on the ground floor in Butler Gallery, in the Learning Centre and Fáilte Ireland Room (Food Vendors Only) payable to Butler Gallery upon selection for the Craft Fair
