Festival of Arts & Crafts 2024

Join us at The Base for a colourful celebration of arts, crafts and artisan food and drink from local makers and creators.

Come and celebrate all things arts and crafts with us at our Festival of Arts & Crafts from Saturday 7 to Sunday 22 September featuring a vibrant Arts & Craft Fair (Sat 7 & Sun 8 Sep only), creative Taster Workshops and a stunning Festival of Art Exhibition featuring local artists’ work.

Kick-starting the two-week festival, a craft fair featuring stalls will surround The Base building, creating a bustling market of high-quality crafters and artists for visitors to browse.

Local artists will also be celebrated as they display their work in the venue’s Gallery throughout the Festival (Sat 7 – Sun 22 Sep), offering visitors the chance to purchase a piece of original art.

Our Runway Gallery will become a huge chalkboard doodle wall which visitors will have the opportunity to make their own mark and see it evolve throughout the Festival.
