Manchester Craft and Design Centre

The hub of the city's arts and crafts community

Located in the city centre's Northern Quarter, Manchester Craft and Design Centre is one of the few places in the UK open to the public where contemporary goods are both individually produced and sold on the premises.

Formerly the Smithfield Victorian fish market and crowned with a huge glass roof, the Centre now houses two floors of shops ranging from jewellery, ceramics and textiles to furniture and clothing design.

The Craft and Design Centre is more than just a shopping haven for craft lovers, though. An excellent cafe and a rolling programme of exhibitions and workshops from leading national and international makers make this worth a special trip.
