The dates for this year’s Festival are Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th June and the National Festival of Making team is already well underway with plans for an incredible celebration of making and innovation across the town involving loads of innovative partners. Stall prices start at £80 for the full weekend.

In addition to the opportunity to have a stall at the Makers’ Market, we are also inviting makers to apply to do a 10-minute demonstration to share their passion for their work with the visiting public. There will be a designated demo area and makers will have the opportunity to benefit for an increased profile.

As ever our aim is to curate a stunning showcase of the best of Northern creativity with fantastic artists, designers and makers from across the region. Each artist will bring their own unique style of art, design, jewellery, photography and craft. This year’s Makers’ Market will feature 50+ stalls.

Please have a look at all the information, terms and conditions before making an application and if you have any questions or difficulties in accessing the form please email us. All applications will be acknowledged within 28 days of receiving the application.
