Our annual local Art & Craft Market is in its 5th year and we are proud of its reputation as an art showcase to support local creativity. Our Art & Craft Market is a wonderful, colourful and joyfully vibrant celebration of the original works of our very best local creatives, designers, and makers!
The market will be held indoors at Southern Maltings, and outdoors in the courtyard on Sunday 7th June 10am – 3pm.
Explore a great variety of original and local artists and take home something unique for yourself, a gift for a friend and the inspiration to tap into your own creativity!
We handpick the most beautiful and quality stalls to feature the very best local and talented printmakers, fine artists, graphic designers, leather crafters, textiles, glass blowing, stained and fused glass, jewellery, macramé, paper crafting, ceramics, crochet, embroidery, candle making and much much more!
Refreshments including light lunches and homemade cakes will be available in our new SMart café.
We will also be running some workshops – so come along and be creative yourself as well as appreciating the works of others!
