Creativa Nantes 2026: the DIY fair in Nantes

Creativa Nantes is the must-visit gathering in western France for anyone into DIY, sewing and handicrafts. For four days the Parc des Expositions in Nantes hosts dozens of exhibitors showing off materials, tools and kits for makers of all levels. The schedule blends professional demonstrations, themed exhibitions and hands-on workshops for beginners and seasoned crafters alike. Sewing, embroidery, scrapbooking, floral art, painting and many other disciplines fill the halls with inspiration. It's also a great chance to pick up one-of-a-kind gifts, try new techniques and swap ideas with a community that loves making things by hand. Sustainability and responsible crafting are highlighted throughout the show. Travelling from outside Nantes? Staying close to the venue makes it easy to get the most out of each day and join several sessions without rushing.
