Swindie Makers Market returns to Swindon for christmas event

The Swindie Makers Market, which supports independent local businesses, is set to return to Swindon for a special Christmas edition.

Founded in 2021 by illustrator Lora O’Callaghan, the market will take place at Christ Church in Old Town on Saturday, November 23, from 11am to 3pm.

This event will feature 25 local makers offering a variety of unique handmade gifts for the festive season. 

The market has previously been hosted at different venues in Swindon, such as STEAM Museum and Pattern Church, but it has returned to Old Town due to popular demand.

At the last event in September, 40 businesses from Wiltshire, Bath, and Bristol participated, selling handmade items like jewellery, soaps, candles, cards, and clothing.
