The Creative Craft Show Glasgow

At The Creative Craft Show Glasgow you can shop for craft supplies, book workshops and join short hands-on sessions, and in spring your single ticket also admits you to The Scottish Quilting Show, which shares the hall. This consumer craft show is run by ICHF Events in Hall 4 at SEC Glasgow. The organiser lists papercraft, knitting and jewellery making among the crafts the show covers and says the show brings together hundreds of exhibitors. It is one of the shows in our craft and hobbies sector.

Three days at SEC Glasgow in March 2027

You can pick any of three days, Thursday to Saturday, to suit your plans.

• Dates: Thursday 4 March to Saturday 6 March 2027
• Hall: Hall 4, SEC Glasgow
• Opening times: the ticket page gives 10am to 4.30pm each day; the show page lists 10am to 4pm, and the organiser notes that times may change
• Parking: paid parking on site

The March dates sit a week before the organiser’s spring show at NEC Birmingham (11 to 14 March 2027), which pairs The Creative Craft Show in Birmingham with Sewing for Pleasure and Fashion & Embroidery. Other events in the Glasgow show calendar include ScotHot, which opens at the same venue on 24 February 2027.

One ticket for two shows

Your ticket covers both The Creative Craft Show and The Scottish Quilting Show on the chosen day, and children under 16 go in free with an adult. Adult tickets start at £12 and are sold as one, two or three day passes, with an early bird discount taken off at checkout. Disabled concessions and group rates are arranged by emailing the organiser. Tickets cannot be refunded or transferred. Our guide to what a co-located exhibition ticket actually covers is worth reading alongside this. The organiser also runs coach trips to its shows.

What you can buy, make and learn

You can buy supplies, take part in workshops and get one-to-one help at a show the organiser describes as suitable for every skill level.

The Creative Craft Show

• Stands selling craft supplies across papercraft, knitting, jewellery making and other crafts, with an exhibitor list published and added to before the show
• Workshops, which the organiser advises booking ahead
• Make & Take sessions, mini workshops with hands-on guidance and one-to-one help
• Features, demonstrations and guilds, which the organiser marks as coming soon for March 2027

Its ticket page also calls it the UK’s biggest mixed craft event.

The Scottish Quilting Show

You can see the work of Scottish quilters at the quilting show, which focuses on patchwork and quilting. Its programme combines quilt exhibitions with talks, competitions, demonstrations and workshops.

A show that returns twice a year

You can plan ahead, as the organiser’s listings show the Glasgow show running twice a year at the SEC, with the spring edition paired with The Scottish Quilting Show.

Exhibiting at the Glasgow show

You can plan a stand from the Creative Craft Show website, which takes stand enquiries and offers a downloadable 2026 sales pack for the organiser’s creative shows and a separate pack for its Christmas shows. The same site also has an exhibitor zone. If you are weighing up stand costs, travel and stock for a three-day consumer show, our guide to building an exhibition budget may help.
