Rosalie Chichester, the last resident of Arlington Court, often hosted fairs and fêtes on the estate. Inspired by this tradition, we’re holding a craft fair this summer to celebrate Devon Day—a day dedicated to the county she called home and loved so dearly.

Join us for our Devon Day Craft Fair at Arlington Court, taking place from 4 to 8 June 2025.

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.

Browse a diverse selection of handmade goods, including ceramics, hand-spun woollen items, unique resin art, illustrations, home furnishings, jewellery, willow baskets and original artwork. You will also find Devon honey along with 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.
