A two-weekend makers' market run by The Hepworth Wakefield gallery, with over 100 independent artists, designers and producers each weekend.
The Hepworth Wakefield's Festive Market brings independent artists, designers, makers and food producers to Tileyard North, the converted textile mill opposite the gallery. For 2026 it has moved onto two floors, with more than 100 stallholders each weekend selling ceramics, prints, jewellery, homeware, textiles, stationery, vinyl, children's gifts and food and drink. The gallery says over 13,000 people came across the two weekends in 2025.
There are art activities for children, live music and street food, and the gallery shop, café and exhibitions are open nearby. The 2026 market opens on the Friday evening alongside the gallery's party for its new exhibitions, then runs over two full weekends.
Entry is by a small ticket, cheaper when booked in advance, and free for gallery members and under-18s.
