Goldsmiths’ Fair applications are now open!
Applications are now open for the 44th Goldsmiths’ Fair, which will run from 22 September - 4 October 2026 at Goldsmiths’ Hall in the City of London.
UK-based jewellers and metalsmiths working with precious metals are warmly encouraged to submit their applications for this unique selling exhibition. For more than 40 years, Goldsmiths’ Fair has given visitors the chance to see, try, and buy pieces from the most exciting independent craftspeople.
The Fair’s selection panel are looking for applications that show work with an original voice and excellent hand-making, technical and finishing skills. If you've applied before, the panel will be looking for a development of style or technique, combined with ongoing commitment to craft, professionalism and ambition. Most of all, they want to see the authenticity of your work and what makes it unique.
If you started your jewellery or silversmithing business within the last six years and have not exhibited at Goldsmiths' Fair before, the Emerging Business Bursary might be for you. Up to 10 recipients will receive a free stand at the Fair, a £1,500 grant to help prepare for the Fair - whether helping cover materials, display props, travel or accommodation - a series of professional training sessions from the Goldsmiths' Centre, 400g of AgAIN silver from the Betts Metal Group, and an optional interest-free silver bullion loan of up to £3,000. Full details and criteria on the Goldsmiths' Fair website.
Applications close on Friday 27 February at midday (12pm).
