Craft & making · Wakefield

Over 70 UK makers and producers — food, ceramics, textiles, homeware — take over Tileyard North, the refurbished mill opposite the Hepworth's gallery, for an autumn weekend market. Live music, street food and family activities run alongside, with exhibition tickets at the Hepworth itself half price for the festival weekend.
A low-key £2 entry and a genuinely browsable stallholder list make this an easy solo wander, with the gallery next door if you want to turn it into a fuller day.
