AUGUST CRAFT MONTH 2026
Ireland’s unique celebration of the craft sector, providing opportunities for all to learn about, make, see and buy local craft.
Applications for makers & event organisers are now open!
Brought to you as a partnership between the Design & Crafts Council and Craft NI, we are now in the fifth year of promoting, growing and sharing audiences for craft makers.
Last year, over 1,500 makers across the island of Ireland took part. Register your event today and join us in helping to make this year’s August Craft Month a vibrant celebration of Ireland’s craft heritage.
