CHELSEA BARRACKS WINTER FAIR
From the Notswolds to the heart of Chelsea.
Following an extraordinary year for the Notswolds, we're delighted to be returning to Chelsea Barracks for the Winter Fair, bringing a collection of handcrafted gifts, original art and Christmas decorations from one of England's most exciting emerging creative regions.
Across our six counties, a remarkable community of artists, designers and craftspeople is producing work of exceptional quality and character. For two days, we'll be bringing a selection of their work to London, from contemporary ceramics and fine woodwork to hand-tooled leather, decorative objects, textiles and seasonal decorations.
Now in its fourth year, the Chelsea Barracks Winter Fair returns to Belgravia with an artisans' market curated in collaboration with House & Garden. Featuring more than 30 independent brands and makers, the weekend also includes festive food, live music, creative workshops and seasonal entertainment.
We'd love to see you there.

THE LINE UP
We're delighted to be joined by exceptional makers on the Notswolds stand at the Chelsea Barracks Winter Fair. Bringing together a diverse range of disciplines, from contemporary ceramics and fine woodwork to original art and decorative crafts, each represents the remarkable creativity and craftsmanship flourishing here in the Notswolds.
Ode to Joy, Stamford
Ode to Joy brings a distinctive eye to contemporary floral design, with expressive arrangements and a beautiful understanding of natural materials. We're delighted to be stocking their sculptural straw flower pomanders, wreaths and dried orange garlands at Chelsea Barracks. An irresistible take on traditional Christmas decorating.
Jess Ellis Ceramics, Leicestershire
Jess Ellis has developed an instantly recognisable approach to decorative ceramics, combining elegant forms with a wonderfully playful sense of detail. Her sculptural plant pots, ruffled edges and unexpected embellishments have made her work exceptionally sought-after. Having sold out at our Spring Fair, we're delighted to be bringing her ceramics to Chelsea Barracks.
Sedere & Co, Lincolnshire
Sedere & Co specialises in beautifully crafted bespoke club fenders, bringing a fresh perspective to a traditional feature of the British home. Each piece is handmade to measure, with a choice of brass or painted steel finishes and beautifully upholstered seating. Designed to complement the architecture of its setting, Sedere's fenders bring together exceptional craftsmanship, decorative detail and the pleasure of gathering around the fire.
Hall & Wall, Northamptonshire
Hall & Wall's collection of original antique and vintage prints is a masterclass in considered sourcing. From botanical studies to historic engravings, each work is selected for its beauty, character and enduring appeal. Their exceptional eye for framing makes these pieces particularly special. Art with history, and plenty of personality.
Wildmore, Lincolnshire
Wildmore is giving the centuries-old art of marbling a brilliant new life. Once familiar on the endpapers of finely bound books, this increasingly rare decorative craft finds a new expression in ceramic baubles, paper chains and stars. We've worked with Wildmore to create an exclusive collection in our own bespoke colourways, bringing a distinctly Notswolds palette to this traditional craft.
Airy Li, Cambridgeshire
Airy Li makes beautifully considered home textiles, with an emphasis on natural materials, skilled construction and lasting quality. Their linen pieces combine understated design with genuine practicality, from thoughtful gifts to considered textiles for the home. We're particularly taken with their sourdough sets, a beautiful and genuinely useful gift for the keen bakers in your life.
Blair Loveday, Cambridgeshire
Blair Loveday's contemporary ceramics are a wonderful meeting of experimentation and everyday function. Their distinctive glazing techniques produce richly layered surfaces and unexpected colour combinations, making each piece individual. We're bringing a selection of ramen bowls, cups and tactile dimple tumblers, all of which make particularly good gifts for those who appreciate beautiful things they can actually use.
Union of London, Leicestershire
Conceived in London and now crafted from their new home in Leicestershire, Union of London creates sophisticated home fragrances, combining carefully composed scents with a strong sense of design. Hand-poured in small batches, their candles are distinguished by their generous proportions and signature wide cotton wicks. We're bringing a selection of fragrances chosen with the festive season and gifting in mind.
Flavell Trading, Northamptonshire
At the heart of Flavell Trading's work is a deep appreciation for the natural beauty of wood, its grain, character and individuality. Combining traditional craftsmanship with thoughtful design, they create exceptional wooden objects for the home. Their beautifully engineered English oak flower presses, finished with British-made brass fittings, are a perfect example. A celebration of the material as much as the craft.
Justin Capp Leather, Northamptonshire
Justin Capp's hand-tooled leatherwork has the character of something collected rather than simply bought. Drawing on traditional techniques, his richly patterned leather boxes combine beautiful materials, intricate craftsmanship and a wonderfully distinctive aesthetic. Equally at home on a desk or dressing table, these are objects with real presence, made to be used, admired and kept for generations.

SIX MAKERS ON GOOD CRAFTSMANSHIP
Good craftmanship isn't a style. It's a way of working. It shows up in decisions most people never see. The choice of material. The time taken. The restraint to leave something as it is, rather than overwork it.
We ask six makers whose work we respect what good craftmanship means to them. Not as a definition but something lived out in practice.

IN CONVERSATION Rose Raw-Rees
“It is rare that any two days are the same, as every piece varies so significantly. There is a constant changing of scenery in the studio and I love that. I love a transformation story.”
Rose discusses the changing pace of her studio, the appeal of transformation, and the instinct that underpins both her work and the homes her pieces go on to inhabit.
