We are delighted to announce that The Hepworth Wakefield’s popular Festive Market returns this winter. It will be the first major event to take place in the newly-created event space at Tileyard North, the refurbished textile mill opposite the gallery.

Applications are welcomed from emerging and established UK-based artists, designers, and independent makers or producers working in print, textiles, jewellery, homeware, ceramics, stationery, cosmetics, aromatics, plants, floristry, food and drink, and gifts for children. 

The weekend will feature family activities and a festive offer in The Hepworth Wakefield shop and café to ensure a well-attended, vibrant event. We will also be staging an outdoor illumination as part of Wakefield's Light Up Festival.

We welcome and encourage applications from candidates who are under-represented within the arts sector. The Hepworth Wakefield is Disability Confident Committed and we have pledged to ensure that  disabled people have the opportunities to fulfil their potential and realise their aspirations within our organisation.

Standard stalls are £200 for each weekend period. Figures are inclusive of VAT. Fees must be paid in advance to guarantee a place and makers selected for participation will be informed of payment deadlines. Fees support the running of the fair and The Hepworth Wakefield’s mission to create art experiences that inspire and enhance lives. 

Applications are made via Curatorspace. 

Please read the details and FAQs on our website before applying. 

Deadline for applications: Midday on Sunday 2 October.
