Come to our Autumn Craft Market

Sat, September 21st, 10am-2pm, St Mark’s Church

St Mark’s will be buzzing next Saturday (21st) when we hold our Autumn Craft Market, starting at 10am and running until 2pm.

Come and browse the stalls for pottery, toys, handknits, cards, jewellery, candles, needlecraft and all manner of gifts. There is live music and a café to meet you friends and eat homemade rolls and cakes.

What’s more, you can see the beautiful Kitty Milroy murals, painted in the early 20th century and restored in 2021. These have been recognised as nationally important in the development of mural art and an exceptional example of the Arts and Crafts Movement.

It’s free to enter and always a lovely atmosphere.

Our Summer Craft Market will take place on Saturday, June 17th, at St Mark’s Church, Alma Lane, Upper Hale, from 10am-2pm. There will be gifts to buy – Father’s Day is the next day so get your gifts for Dad there – cards, jewellery, knitwear, toys, and live music and refreshments.

Among the stalls this month are Richmetal Jewellery which sells finely crafted silver and gold pieces; clocks created from CDs by DNWFoto; bird-inspired craft from The Crafty Bird; cards from Sue Froud; and lots of lovely knitting from Knitty Nora.

It’s free to enter and while you are there, you can also have a look at the wonderful Kitty Milroy murals, painted in the early 20th century and now recognised as key in the development of mural art.

There will also be live music from Saxooma, plus refreshments including homemade cake and rolls.

Come and join us.
