Description
The HUB National Centre for Craft & Design celebrates and promotes crafts and design through a rich and busy mix of exhibitions, a learning programme and on site resources.

The HUB is based in a radically remodelled seed warehouse in the centre of Sleaford, a small market town about eighteen miles south of Lincoln, fourteen miles east of Grantham and the A1.

We are highly proactive in building new activity, which over the next year, will include a research centre.

We encourage collaborations with schools, colleges and universities, who regularly use the centre. The Hub also creates a good number of seminars and conferences.
