Instrument Makers
Each year the Festival has the pleasure of hosting a group of artisans who showcase their exquisite handcrafted instruments. Bouzoukis, guitars, harps, banjos and pipes are just a few of the instruments made and displayed by these talented people. Even if you are not a musician, make sure you spend some time in the Instrument Maker’s venue for an amazing experience.
To apply to be a part of the Instrument Maker’s Display you need to complete an application form and submit it to the Festival. Application will open on 1 July and are available for download at the bottom of this page.
There are only 20 spaces available each year and the spaces are given to those who submit their application and pay their fee first. The Festival does limit the numbers of specific instrument types in order to maintain variety.
