Art and Craft Markets

Hartest Markets – New Art and Craft Market!

Many of you will be familiar with our lovely monthly Farmers Market held on the first Saturday of every month at the Hartest Institute.  The market has always had a blend of food and craft stalls but as it continues to grow each month so does our waiting list for stall holders.

We are excited to announce that we are setting up a second market to accommodate local artists and makers which we hope will become a regular feature in the village.

The Hartest Art & Craft Market will showcase some of the best handmade products in the area, featuring ceramics, jewellery, textiles, wood and glass.

We can accommodate 24 makers and will feature additional artists in a gallery section.

A pop up market café will be serving delicious and freshly prepared food throughout the day using locally sourced produce where possible.
