I’m back at Bournville Village Green in November for the last time in 2024. This has to be one of my favourite artisan markets - great people, gorgeous location and a really nicely curated mix of local makers, food vendors and artists.
I was last at Midland Arts Centre for their summer fair in June (it was a blistering day). I’m back again this November for just one day of their Christmas Makers’ Market. Expect a wide range of very talented makers and artists, plus some delicious food and drink options.
This is always a great market - well curated by crocheter Clare Gordon of Clare Gets Crafty and attended by customers who are genuinely interested in buying handmade. It’s well worth the short walk from Harborne High Street, and there are always great cakes on offer too…what’s not to like!
The same people who bring you the artisan markets at Bournville and Kings Heath have organised this one-off Christmas event too, so you know it’s going to be full of amazing local makers. Brindley Place is a gorgeous setting for a market and i’m really looking forward to spending part of my xmas market season here.
This will be my final market of 2024, and it’s at one of my favourite markets! It’s always a great day out, with lots to see from the region’s coolest makers, loads of gorgeous food, music and amazing people. York Road is partially pedestrianised too so you can safely wander around with the kids and dogs. I’d love to see you there!
KHAM is one of my favourite markets in Birmingham! It’s always a great day out, with lots to see from the region’s coolest makers, loads of gorgeous food, music and amazing people. York Road is partially pedestrianised too so you can safely wander around with the kids and dogs. I’d love to see you there!

I’m back at Bournville Village Green for my only market date in September. This has to be one of my favourite artisan markets - great people, gorgeous location and a really nicely curated mix of local makers, food vendors and artists.
I’m back at Bournville Village Green in August. This has to be one of my favourite artisan markets - great people, gorgeous location and a really nicely curated mix of local food vendors and artists. Plus, it’s usually full of dogs on their best behaviour, which makes me very happy!
This will be my first appearance at St Paul’s Square in the Jewellery Quarter, but i’ve heard great things so I’m sure it will be just as lovely as the other artisan markets organised by Pip Bradley.
I have my very own gazebo at this year’s free arts festival in the heart of Leamington Spa! My stall number is 92 in Mill Gardens, near the music stage.
Brought to you by the same people who organise Kings Heath Artisan so you know it’s going to be great! This will be my second appearance at this new market. I had a lovely time when I was here in May and I hope the weather will be just as lovely for July!
Nook Gallery in Kings Heath opens its doors for a preview evening on 21st June, ahead of its launch weekend 22-23 June. I’ll be joining owner Gosia Weber and the other artists and makers, whose works are now stocking in this exciting new gallery, to celebrate the grand opening!

I’m back at the very cool Midland Arts Centre in Cannon Hill Park for their summer Makers’ Fair. Expect a wide range of very talented makers and artists, plus some delicious food and drink options.
Brought to you by the same people who organise Kings Heath Artisan so you know it’s going to be great! This is my first appearance at this new market so i’m super excited and not just because it’s not too far from my house!

Harborne’s monthly arts and food market is back and this will be my final event of 2023!
This is always a great market - well curated by crocheter Clare Gordon of Clare Gets Crafty and attended by customers who are genuinely interested in buying handmade. It’s well worth the 5 minute walk from Harborne High Street, and there are always great cakes on offer too…what’s not to like!
This arts fair brings together many of the artists and makers whose work is regularly stocked at The Gallery on Pershore High Street. Painters, illustrators, ceramicists, jewellers and wood workers are just some of the makers you’ll find this Christmas, all in the quaint setting of ‘Plum Town’s’ Georgian centre.
The last time I was here was March 2022, so I’m quite excited to be coming back this Christmas. This is always a great market. It’s well curated by Anna and the team at Elmslie House and you’ll find a wide range of arts here, from oil paintings to ceramics, jewellery to textiles and everything in between. It’s open all weekend and your wristband not only buys you a raffle ticket, but allows you entry for each of the days.
Unfortunately the poor weather has meant the market has been cancelled. Not because the venue in Harborne is affected, but because the gazebo company’s storage facility is flooded and they can’t get the equipment to us in time. So this month’s market is cancelled, but please check out the websites and social media accounts of the makers involved and treat yourself online instead!

I was here in July and I’ll be back for the next one in August! This combination farmer’s market, arts fair and fete is a fun day out for the whole family.

Free entry. I haven’t managed to make it to one of Holly and Rick’s events since pre-Covid, so I’m looking forward to this! They always curate a fab line-up of Midlands-based talent that includes varied arts and crafts including illustration, textiles, ceramics, jewellery, art and more. There’s a raffle too, with prizes donated by the makers and if you bring along a flyer you can get a raffle ticket for free.
This new pop-up artisan market organised by local maker Pip (from Pip’s Hot Sauce) hasn’t been running long, but it’s already creating waves in the Birmingham maker-scene! I’m so excited to be part of their next market with its combination of food, arts and charity campaign stalls.
I really enjoy appearing at this quarterly curated arts market in the quaint Moor Pool Village Hall, so I’m happy to say that a cancellation has meant I am now able to attend their summer market! See you there!

I’m back at Harborne Handmade this Spring! I absolutely love this market - it’s well curated by Clare Gordon, who is a maker herself (I think makers are the best market organisers) and knows what her customers like. You’re sure to find good quality, handmade, local pieces at this event.
This will be my first time at this market so I’m excited to see how it goes. I always like venturing out of the city, so heading into the beautiful countryside of Worcestershire sounds like a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon to me. What I like about this market is that it is curated by a mother-daughter team and it is only four hours long. I can’t tell you how many Sunday markets have dragged on until 5.30pm, way past the time that people want to be at home and eating their dinner!
Delicious cakes and a variety of local independent artists and makers all under one roof at Moorpool Hall.
Visit this outdoor celebration of local independent business and makers in a little village of wooden cabins around St Paul’s Square, Colmore Row. With street food, drinks, live music and local arts and crafts, this friendly xmas market is the place for your outdoor festive fun this year.
