About

Browse an array of stalls where local makers will be selling their handmade crafts at affordable prices.

There will be a wide range of artforms represented and many opportunities to chat with friendly makers. 

The Shipley's drawing and painting group will be running a free drop-in activity where you can paint a greeting card to take away with you. The group meets at the Shipley on Tuesday mornings and is open to new members - come along to have a chat and find out more.

You can also treat yourself to a hot drink and a sweet or savoury baked good at Urban Bakery's pop-up cafe. 


The Laing Art Gallery's newest temporary exhibition is With These Hands, which explores the representation of craft in paintings, drawings, and prints from 1750 to the present day. The exhibition is on display from 17 May - 27 September 2025.

The Shipley Art Gallery is hosting an accompanying craft programme focusing on workshops where you can try your hand at different crafts featured in or related to the exhibition.
