The Great British Bead Show 2027
The Great British Bead Show, hosted by the Beadworkers Guild in Daventry, Northamptonshire, is a four‑day residential event (6‑9 May 2027). It features a packed programme of workshops and masterclasses presenting exclusive designs created for the show. Throughout the event the members’ Annual Challenge competition is judged, culminating in an exhibition of competition entries and a showcase of members’ beadwork. Social elements include pre‑dinner drinks, evening entertainment with guest speakers, and the Guild’s AGM. The final day hosts the public‑open Bead Bazaar, offering a wide range of beads, crystals, kits and related accessories from UK and European traders, with free entry for members. The event blends education, inspiration, retail therapy, and community networking for beading enthusiasts of all levels.
