Make and Mend Festival

Make & Mend Festival is a jam-packed day full of colour, creativity, positivity and wellbeing.

  • Booking essential

The festival takes place on Sunday 13th July in the beautiful grounds of Ormesby Hall in Middlesbrough, which is the perfect backdrop for a day of self-care and relaxation. We hope you can join us and share our passion for crafting, as we strongly believe that making is good for the soul!

The Festival is a fantastic introduction to a variety of crafts, giving you a chance to learn something new to you or to enhance your existing skills with talented artists and makers who are at the top of their game. You’ll be able to choose from a programme of workshops that are designed to fuel your creative spirit. In addition, there are craft demonstrations, drop-in creative activities, yoga and breathwork sessions to nourish your mind and body, and our brilliant Maker’s Marketplace offering a range of thoughtfully curated products from local makers.

To find out more about the Festival, individual workshops and to book your tickets, visit the Festival website - https://www.makemendfestival.co/

Tickets are £39, which includes access to one workshop of your choice. You can choose to buy an additional workshop to add more making to your day! Come with friends or come alone to Make & Mend Festival; you’ll soon have creative friends by the end of the day. This festival is fun, welcoming and inclusive.

Please note: Ormesby Hall will be closed for visiting on this day.
