The show will run from 13-15 September. It has teamed up with Woman’s Weekly and will feature a Masquerade Ball display, with gowns originally worn by Hollywood actresses including Drew Barrymore, Uma Thurman, Sienna Miller, Minnie Driver and Catherine Zeta Jones.
Visitors will find live demonstrations on craft projects and hands-on craft workshops, as well as inspiration and advice on sewing, knitting, jewellery making, papercraft, cardmaking and quilting.
The exhibition will also feature the Knit ‘n’ Natter Lounge, a cookery theatre with cookery expert Sue McMahon and fiction workshops for aspiring writers.
ICHF Events has worked with Woman’s Weekly in the past on some of its other shows, including Cake International that takes place in November at the NEC in Birmingham.
David Bennett, managing director of ICHF Events, said: "We are delighted to be working with Woman's Weekly for our brand new event. ICHF Events has always enjoyed a great relationship with the brand and their readers, and are sure that by joining forces we will create an unrivalled creative craft spectacular - the biggest seen in this region."
Bennett said ICHF Events would be taking more of its shows to three new venues in the UK during 2012.
