B.Arts, an artist led arts and educational charity, will host their fifth annual Makers Market in their building at 72 Hartshill Road, Stoke, on Saturday 14 November from 10am to 4pm.

The free-to-attend event will feature with a range of stalls selling festive gifts by local artists and makers including, visual artists, textile artists, illustrators, jewellery makers, mixed media artists, card makers and clay artists.

Kath Stanway, B.ARTS Co-Artistic Director said: "We are delighted to be hosting our Christmas Makers Market at B.ARTS again on Saturday 14 November.

"This year we have an incredible range of artists and makers (around 30!) all selling unique handmade and bespoke gifts, some have returned from last year and we have lots of new faces too.

"We are really looking forward to the return of our makers market with yummy food & drink, live music from Vibealicious, our festive walk about performers and a free festive activity for everyone to join in with."

A range of hot and cold food and sweet treats will be available to purchase from Bread in Common Café and Bar.
