Kraft Village — Art Gallery in High Wycombe

Kraft Village Gallery is an art gallery focused on woodturning craft. It’s located on Grafton Street in High Wycombe, a short drive from the city centre. The venue features hand-turned hollow forms made from rare woods like Yew and Laburnum root balls, its standout display. You can spend an hour or two walking through the 400 items on show at your own pace. It's one of the most distinctive cultural spots in High Wycombe, drawing people interested in fine woodworking.

Kraft Village Gallery is set in a former chair making workshop with exposed brick and timber beams, part of its industrial heritage since 2026. Large windows bring in natural light, balanced with task lighting to keep the space calm and focused. The wooden floor and open rafters reflect its original use as a working studio. Noise stays low, mostly just the quiet hum of lathes during live demonstrations. Visitors walk slowly through 400 displayed pieces, many from international sources including Australia and Canada, making it ideal for close inspection.
