About

Haworth & Yorkshire Creatives ‘Makers Market’ is back. Curated by Brontë Bitch who is also based in Haworth, she launched this grassroots event, from scratch with the sole purpose to spotlight exceptional independent makers, crafters, photographers, artists, designers, bakers showcasing handmade products, made in Haworth and across Yorkshire. It’s a sustainable way to support local creatives and shop small.

"Unlike a standard craft fair, Haworth & Yorkshire Creatives Makers Markets focus on extraordinary makers who create unusual, one-of-a-kind products—celebrating originality, creativity, and the stories behind each artisan”

Soak up Haworth’s history and charm and make a day of it. Wander up the cobbles of Haworth’s Main Street, explore independent cafés, pubs and shops, then step into literary history at St Michael and All Angels’ Church. Continue up to the Brontë Old School Room, where the Haworth & Yorkshire Creatives Makers Market pop-up takes place, just opposite the Brontë Parsonage Museum. For the more adventurous, why not venture further to Brontë Falls and on across the moors to Top Withens.

Free Entry | Family & Dog Friendly - all welcome

MEET THE MAKERS - INTRODUCING NEW STALLS WHO MAKE THEIR DEBUT THIS MARCH IN HAWORTH;

CAPTURED FOR YOU Making their Haworth debut this March is Captured for You, a wildlife photography mini-exhibition by Jayne, whose travels over the past three years have taken her off the beaten track in pursuit of stunning, authentic images. In 2020, Jayne was diagnosed with breast cancer, and after completing most of her treatment, she gave up work to follow her passion for travel and photography - the beginning of Captured for You. Each photograph is printed by Jayne at home with no Photoshop or AI enhancement, and her husband frames the work in bespoke, hand-made reclaimed oak. We’re delighted to welcome Captured for You to the market and can’t wait for visitors to experience their remarkable work. https://www.captured4you.co/

Since then, she has focused entirely on developing her skills, building her business and exhibiting at craft fairs and agricultural shows over the past five years. Her work is also stocked at The Hutch in Grassington, and we’re delighted to welcome her distinctive felted pieces to the market. https://www.instagram.com/felterthecrafty
