Winter Fair: Open Studios & Xmas Market

Once a year the mysterious gates to this enormous rabbit warren of creative spaces opens up, and they are open wide and covered in truly Bristol festive spirit. Over three days in early December everyone is welcome to come and wander through our indoor and outdoor makers market stalls and throughout the winding corridors of artist studios around this huge industrial estate. Learn first hand about all kinds of processes old and new; from letterpress printmaking and relief tile casting to glass sculpting and ceramics and more. Our market place of 30 visiting makers compliments the slightly wild atmosphere of the studios here, with the wares being specially chosen from the best in the city.

All around the site you'll be spoilt for choice for Christmas gift Ideas: Jewellery, tinctures, skincare, fashion, prints, homewares, furniture, ceramics, workshop vouchers, toys and more. We will have an outdoor stage bustling with live music all weekend, please keep an eye on our socials for line ups. We'll also have refreshments and a hot food stall in the yard to keep you cosy and toasty.
