Exhibitors at this year’s British Craft Trade Fair (BCTF) will display stunning creations designed for the garden such as beautiful garden furniture, stunning sculptures, ceramic planters and colourful glassware.
Hall 1 of the Great Yorkshire Showground, Harrogate, will be the showcase for designs from various design-led companies.

The Big Black House Design Company with its unusual handmade, contemporary furniture and accessories.

Recycled metal is the chosen material of the Nottinghashire based Frailloop who creates metal sculpture primarily for the garden and other outside locations.

Ceramicists such as Heidi Warrington and The Potteryman, David Melville, will showcase their latest collections. Ms Warrington creates ornamental hand-thrown interior and garden accessories including unique non-glazed sager-fired pots and planters.

While Mr Melville creates oil lamps, water features, pots and larger garden sculptures and plaques.

Nicholas Clarke's contemporary garden furniture will feature ranges from individual deck chairs through to pergolas that involve several tonnes of green oak.

And Ark Glass produces individually designed sculptures that are made from glass and stainless steel, but are frost-proof, weatherproof, rustproof and heat resistant.

Attracting around 4,000 of the UK's top buyers over three days, BCTF hosts more than 500 exhibitors in total and includes an area dedicated to new designers.

The Newcomers Gallery offers over 70 designers the opportunity to showcase their ranges at a major trade fair for the first time. This gives buyers the opportunity to access new products.
