FESTIVE MARKETS 2024

Join us in celebrating over 50 talented makers and local businesses this winter across Plymouth and new pop-up venue in Liskeard.


We’re Coming to Cornwall - Native Makers at Liskeard Library

Save the date: 7th Dec, 10am – 4pm 


Get ready for Native Makers at Liskeard Library an exciting new collaborative pop-up market right in the heart of Liskeard High Street. This festive season, we’re partnering with the Real Ideas team based at the historic Liskeard Library to bring you a new Cornish pop-up. Liskeard proudly boasts a burgeoning maker's scene and is developing a number of amazing studios, markets, shops and galleries that display and sell local work. We aim to create an opportunity to really add to this movement by bringing the much loved Native Makers Market, along with the loyal following of people who buy from these, into the town. We will be ring fencing some of the pitches for PL14 makers and hope this provides a valuable platform for the wider South East Cornwall making scene to coalesce here in Liskeard.
