Scottish Arts & Crafts Fair, Geilsland Estate

Scotland's biggest monthly arts and crafts fair fills a handsome country house near Beith with around 54 independent makers, from textiles to woodwork to small-batch food.

Fully accessible, dog-friendly and with an on-site café plus estate walks, it's an easy half-day rather than a quick browse-and-go — and free entry means there's no pressure to buy, though the makers here make it hard not to.
