Quex Craft Village

Quex Park’s Create experiences invite visitors to immerse themselves in the vibrant world of arts, crafts and hands‑on creativity set within the scenic grounds of this historic estate. At the heart of this creative hub is the Quex Craft Village, a charming collection of artisan studios and workshops housed in beautifully restored farm buildings. Artisans in the village specialise in a wide range of crafts, from artisan silver jewellery and bespoke leather accessories to modern mosaic art and handmade knitwear. Many offer workshops and classes, giving visitors the chance to learn new skills and explore creative techniques under expert guidance.
