Our Arts Market will be filled with the best in local culture, from fanzines, to hand-made crafts, and holding free Workshops for everyone to get involved.
The workshops will run throughout the day, encouraging you to get stuck in and be creative! Bringing fun and animation to the Arts Market area, the workshops run by a wonderful selection of practising artists and creative organisations will include: drawing and illustration basics, stamp and block printing, book binding, instrument and costume making, fashion and photography, poetry and beat boxing.
