Ferrers Centre for Arts and Crafts

The first crafts unit was established in 1974, and there are now 16 businesses covering a wide range of disciplines. There is a bespoke framing service, artisan baker and deli, hairdressers, beauticians, blacksmith, pottery and tearooms. The Ferrers Gallery showcases the best of British craftmanship with exhibitions throughout the year. Artistic studios include upholstery, textiles, automata and wildlife paintings.

The craft centre is situated on the Staunton Harold Estate, which is also a gateway to the National Forest with links to numerous walks and trails through the local countryside.
