Sarah James MBE

Cardigan born and bred, Sarah James and her dedicated team have sharped, grown and nurtured the incredible Craft Festival since 2004.

In 2015, 2016 and 2018 Craft Festival, Bovey Tracey was awarded a Gold medal as Visit Devon's Festival of the Year. There is also a Cheltenham-based event, and for the first time in 2024, a Wales-based version, too.

“Our aim is to present the finest makers with events and activities, creating communities that highlight the joy of making.”

Sarah James was awarded an MBE for Services to Craft in the King's Birthday Honours List 2023.

She will join us at our Summer Camp Craft Weekend in 2025!
