Farnham World Craft Town
Find out about England’s craft town.
Farnham and the surrounding countryside is home to an astonishing number of makers – from the just getting started to the internationally renowned – as well as craft organisations, creative micro-businesses and independent creative industries.
Makers work from home, from retail outlets, in dedicated workshop spaces and from bespoke craft studios in the town. As a World Craft Town, Farnham will work to support its makers to become more resilient and enterprising and seek to create more affordable studio spaces and incubator units. This will help ensure that supply meets demand and the town retains its craft graduates and apprentices.

Farnham – history & origins
Farnham’s transformation into England’s first World Craft Town did not happen overnight.
Although people have been making in the area since prehistoric times, it was not until the 21st century that conversations began to simmer about acknowledging the special role of craft in Farnham.
