ARTS & CRAFTS FAIR

Kick-starting the two-week festival, a craft fair featuring stalls will surround The Base building, creating a bustling market of high-quality crafters and artists for visitors to browse.
FESTIVAL OF ART EXHIBITION

Local artists will also be celebrated as they display their work in the venue’s Gallery throughout the Festival (Sat 7 – Sun 22 Sep), offering visitors the chance to purchase a piece of original art.
The Runway Gallery will also become a huge chalkboard doodle wall which visitors will have the opportunity to make their own mark and see it evolve throughout the Festival.
