About the Craft Shop

The Craft Shop was established in October 1981 within the iconic Royal Exchange Theatre building in the lively St. Ann's Square, close to The Arndale Shopping Centre and public transport links. We are proud to be celebrating over 30 years of selling and promoting British handmade contemporary crafts.

Visit the Craft Shop and find original contemporary gifts, treat yourself to an individual piece of jewellery or simply browse the FREE changing exhibitions in The Great Hall. Displays change regularly so there is always plenty to see - colourful jewellery, luxurious textiles, functional ceramics, sculptural woodwork and exquisite glass, plus a wide selection of greetings cards and stationery. Commissions are welcome.
