Rosalie Chichester, the last resident of Arlington Court, often hosted fairs and fêtes on the estate, showcasing local businesses and connecting communities. Inspired by this tradition, we’re holding a craft fair next summer to celebrate the wonderful array of local artists and artisans here in North Devon, we hope you will be able to join us.

Join us for our Summer Craft Fair at Arlington Court, taking place from Friday 5 to Sunday 6 June 2026.

This event is a celebration of local craftsmanship, bringing together some of North Devon’s finest artists, makers, and producers. Set in the beautiful surroundings of Arlington Court, the fair is a great opportunity to explore unique handmade goods and support local talent.

Previous years have seen a diverse selection of handmade goods, including ceramics, hand-spun woollen items, unique resin art, illustrations, home furnishings, jewellery, willow baskets and original artwork. As well as Devon honey, delicious local produces, ales and even freeze-dried sweets.

This event is inspired by Rosalie Chichester, the last resident of Arlington Court, who regularly hosted fairs and fetes on the estate. The craft fair not only celebrates local craftsmanship but also honours Rosalie’s legacy and her deep connection to the county she called home.

This event is free for NT members and included in normal general addmission.
