Space to Create
Inside the ‘Space To Create’ dome, which is located at the entrance to the market site, visiting artists from the ‘Faceless’ arts organisation are hosting morning and afternoon arts workshops and will help you to create your own artworks based around the festival theme, using prints and collage images. It’s free of charge and is sure to be a lot of fun. All ages welcome.

Painting competition on the theme of Migration, and with the assistance of our local shopkeepers, we will temporarily turn Main Street into a public art gallery - using the shop-front windows to create a unique showcase for the impressive work of the competition artists.
