About

Haworth & Yorkshire Creatives Makers Market is a curated grassroots event celebrating  independent artists, makers, designers and craftspeople from Haworth and across Yorkshire. Unlike traditional craft fairs, the market focuses on original, handmade work and the stories behind the people who create it. The event provides a platform for talented independent creatives while encouraging visitors to shop small and support local businesses.

New for this summer is the Featured Artist Stage, a dedicated exhibition space  showcasing five Yorkshire artists: Carolyn Edwards Art, KBJ Fine Arts, Susie Jackson  Art, Tracey Watson Abstract Art and Withens Art by Philippa.
