The Christmas Makers’ Fair is coming to Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum on Friday 5 and Saturday 6 December, with an exciting range of craft makers from Worcestershire and beyond setting up their stalls in the unique location of the Museum.
Taking place alongside Worcester’s Victorian Christmas Fayre, the city’s biggest weekend of the year, the Art Gallery and Museum’s Makers’ Fair is a cosy opportunity to head indoors, have a mooch in the museum, and enjoy a coffee or mulled wine at Little Al’s at the Balcony café.
The perfect opportunity to get ready for Christmas, visitors will find an exquisite and colourful range of jewellery to purchase, alongside woodwork, homeware, textiles, metalwork, painting and prints, as well as artisan foods. Visitors can soak up the yuletide atmosphere with music from DJ Santa.
Alongside the brilliant makers, you can discover locally made jewellery, art-inspired books and gifts, and a lovely selection of Christmas cards in the Art Gallery and Museum’s shop.
“It’s great to be open alongside the Victorian Christmas Fayre again this year – it brings a brilliant festive atmosphere to our Makers’ Fair. You’ll see some of the Art Gallery and Museum staff in costume too, with the perfect backdrop of the beautiful Victorian building!” Tracey Ayre, Events Officer at the Art Gallery and Museum.
Visitors can complement their Makers’ Fair experience by delving into fantasy art in the exhibition Designing Terry Pratchett’s Discworld: 30 Years of Paul Kidby’s Illustration. Tickets are available to be purchased via museumsworcestershire.org.uk or on the day from the Museum Shop.
Entry to the Christmas Makers’ Fair is free and the event is on at Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum on Friday 5 and Saturday 6 December, 10am – 6pm. Little Al’s at the Balcony café is also open from 10am – 6pm, offering mulled wine, mince pies, hot drinks and cakes.
