Derbyshire Makes Festival - Swadlincote

This event is part of Derbyshire Makes Festival - a free festival taking place across Derbyshire between the 28 March and 27 April 2025 to celebrate making in all its forms.

Discover hands-on, fun and accessible free workshops and demos, from pottery and wood turning to letterpress printing and more, alongside a local Makers’ Market, exhibitions, and ‘Swad’s Reet Good Art Trail’ (in partnership with Swadlincote Festival of Words).

The programme also deepens the National Forest’s presence in the town centre with a special Forest Makers’ Market and ‘Treading Lightly,’ a unique workshop by artist and shoe designer Sasha Archer exploring how we can reduce our carbon footprint.

Programmed by People Express.
