Derbyshire Makes Festival - Heanor

Derbyshire Makes Festival unfolds across 6 local Hubs over 5 weeks. In Chesterfield, Heanor, Cromford, Glossop, Bolsover and Swadlincote, there will be artist talks, craft-based demonstrations, making opportunities, exhibitions and performances.

A celebration of all things handmade

Whether you’re an experienced maker or have only just started, it’s time to get stuck in. Head for the Community Living Room hosted by mischief makers Maison Foo Theatre to meet makers, growers, sewers and shedders sharing their skills and stories as part of a live podcast. Visit the Makers’ Marquee to get involved in ‘Trash to Flash’ workshops with local artists, hands-on making demos and workshops with Swanick Men’s Shed and more. There will be free, family friendly activities and pop-up performances, all building towards a Big Community Skills Share on the final day. Don’t miss the chance to try something new and learn from your neighbours.
