Swindon is once again set to be a hub of creativity and talent as the much-anticipated Swindie Makers Market makes its grand return for the fifth consecutive year. This year, the event will be held at a new venue, the Pattern Church, promising an even more vibrant and exciting experience for all attendees.
The Swindie Makers Market has earned a reputation for being a one-day extravaganza that brings together the best of modern makers, musicians, and food and drink businesses, all under one roof. This year’s event, scheduled for April 20th, between 12-5pm, promises to uphold this tradition, offering a unique shopping experience and a chance to support local independent businesses.
The move to the Pattern Church allows the event to accommodate up to 100 talented makers and small businesses, all showcasing their modern, trend-led products. From handcrafted goods to homemade delights, there’s something for everyone at the Swindie Makers Market.
But it’s not just about shopping. The event also offers a feast for the senses with four street food vendors serving a range of cuisines, bakeries, breweries, and even an exclusive ‘Swindie’ beer from the local ViBish boys. Add to this the live music acts playing hour-long sets throughout the day, and you have the perfect backdrop for a day of browsing and shopping.
The Swindie Makers Market has come a long way since its first event at Christ Church in 2021. With each year, the event has grown in size and popularity, culminating in the last event at the STEAM Museum in November 2023, which saw up to 100 businesses involved.
This year’s event promises to be another fantastic showcase of the talent and creativity that Swindon has to offer. So, mark your calendars and get ready to soak up the vibes at the Swindie Makers Market on April 20th at the Pattern Church, Swindon.
