Our Exhibitions - Creativity in iconic surroundings
Our exhibitions celebrate the extraordinary craftsmanship of Suffolk Craft Society makers, highlighting intricate detail, traditional techniques, and innovative design. With dynamic, ever-evolving displays set in iconic venues across the Region and in the Capital, each showcase offers a fresh, inspiring, and immersive experience for all who attend.
Friday 7th November to Sunday 23rd November 2025
This November, we are thrilled to return to The Guildhall, Britain’s oldest civic building, nestled in the heart of historic Bury St Edmunds. This remarkable venue, steeped in centuries of heritage, provides a captivating setting for our Makers to showcase their exceptional craftsmanship.
As our third exhibition venue of the year, The Guildhall offers a striking contrast—where history meets innovation, and tradition intertwines with contemporary artistry. The carefully curated display will celebrate the skill, creativity, and originality of our Makers, bridging the past and present through exquisite handcrafted pieces.
Join us for this inspiring exhibition and experience the beauty of heritage craftsmanship reimagined for the modern world. More details here >>

As our Summer Exhibition at Ickworth House closes, we’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the amazing National Trust team at Ickworth for their warm welcome and generous support. It’s been a real pleasure working alongside such a dedicated team in such a beautiful setting.
We’re also incredibly grateful to everyone who visited the exhibition. Your enthusiasm, thoughtful comments, and genuine appreciation made it a truly memorable experience for all our makers.
