About Abingdon Traditional Craft Fair 2025 | Sunday 2nd November

Abingdon Traditional Craft Fair is a modern-day tradition in the ancient Abbey Buildings, a three-day show which traces its roots back to the 1970s; that's 50 years of raising money for the upkeep of the medieval buildings in which it is held.

They are the only remaining legacy from the once-famous Abbey dismantled by Henry VIII. The show is curated to safeguard its reputation for quality and genuine craftsmanship.

Ticket Information

For the Abingdon Traditional Craft Fair 2025 we will be managing numbers to achieve a regular flow of visitors rather than a dense crowd in the middle of the day. When we managed numbers using entry time slots in 2021 (because of Covid) a lot of people told us that they preferred the slightly less crowded rooms. In addition the Abbey Buildings are now working to tighter fire restrictions than in the past and this system will also help us to manage occupancy for fire safety reasons.

We strongly advise that you purchase your ticket online in advance to guarantee your ability to enter at the time you arrive. Tickets will still be available at the door but, if an hour is already fully booked online, we may have to ask people who turn up without pre-ordering to wait until the next hour.

Time Slot - you can take as long as you like in the craft fair - the time only refers to your arrival, not the amount of time you can stay.
