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.
