The Saltaire Makers Fair

Held twice a year, Saltaire Inspired's Saltaire Makers Fairs have a growing reputation for providing a showcase for some of the best contemporary craft available for sale or commission in the north of England and, increasingly, further afield. Audiences will have the opportunity to see unique and original handmade products, buy directly from the artists and makers, and meet the creative talent behind the work. The venue, Victoria Hall in Saltaire, is both attractive and historically unique, a great setting for a contemporary craft fair, and we regularly see 1000 - 1500 visitors per day through the doors. The Fair will include artist demonstrations, a popular Art Tombola and there will be a pop-up cafe with delicious sweet and savoury snacks.

The Saltaire Makers Fair will form a part of the wider programme of events within Saltaire Inspired's annual festival of contemporary visual art, the Saltaire Arts Trail, which has been running since 2006, and is sited in the unique public and private spaces of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Saltaire village. Over three days, Saltaire becomes a magnet for visitors. As well as The Saltaire Makers Fair, there are commissioned exhibitions and installations, free creative family workshops, and the famous Open Houses and Windows - a village wide gallery of contemporary art in the Grade II listed homes and windows of Saltaire residents.
