Connecting bio crafters across the Midlands and building a community of makers working with natural materials.

BioCraft Birmingham is a one-day gathering celebrating the people, practices and ideas shaping biocraft across the city.

Taking place at The Hive on Saturday 19th September 2026, the event brings together artists, designers, makers, researchers, community organisations and grassroots initiatives who work with natural materials, sustainable processes and environmentally conscious approaches to making.

As part of the 20th anniversary of Park(ing) Day and Heritage Month, BioCraft Birmingham creates space to share knowledge, exchange ideas and build connections across Birmingham's growing biocraft community.

Rather than a traditional craft market, the event focuses on collaboration, conversation and creative exchange. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet local makers, discover innovative projects, learn about sustainable materials and heritage techniques, and explore how craft can contribute to more regenerative ways of living and making.

Meet makers, watch demonstrations, hear talks, and book a slot to experience an activity in the Hive's new BioCraft Studio* . Some exhibitors will also have a small selection of work available to purchase; plus our organic café will be open serving freshly made lunches, cakes and coffees.

The event is free to attend and you can register here, or drop-in on the day.

*all activities are drop-in except the BioCraft Studio - limited timed slots are available for this on the day
