The First-ever Wakefield Makers Market is Here!
Wakefield! The Wakefield Makers Market is thrilled to announce that a brand-new hub for creativity and craftsmanship is about to blossom in the Wakefield community. Mark your calendars for Saturday November 8th, because the very first Wakefield Makers Market is happening, and it’s going to be a wonderful celebration of unique local talent!
This isn’t just any market; it’s a gathering of amazing artists, creators, and makers, all under one roof. The Wakefield Makers Market will transform a spacious 5,000 sq. ft indoor warehouse on busy Thornes Lane into a vibrant indoor pop-up market, showcasing everything from stunning handmade jewellery to pottery, flowers, home wear, art, essential oils and skincare to tasty homemade goodies and so much more.
The excitement among the makers has been incredible so far! They initially aimed for 45 stalls, but they've been blown away by over 60 applications in just under two weeks! They had to work on a first come, first paid situation to make sure they have a varied range of traders.
For those planning to visit, get ready for a delightful afternoon! The market will be open from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, giving you plenty of time to explore at your leisure. Best of all, entry is free if you grab your ticket online ahead of time, or you can stroll in for just £2.50 at the door.
Getting here is a breeze! Conveniently located near the M1 and just a quick five-minute drive from the city centre, with ample parking available at PAB Studios, you can focus on enjoying the experience without any hassle.
This is more than just a shopping trip; it’s a chance to connect with the talented folks behind the creations and support our local businesses.
