Marches Makers Festival 2026
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to our sixth Marches Makers Festival.
Since its beginnings in 2018 this event has held at its core the championing of the wealth of creative talent in this
corner of the Welsh Marches. Over the years the festival has grown into an event which honours the
act of making in a wider sense. Not only in terms of art and craft, but also the making of
music, the crafting of words, the creation of drama.
This year we invite you to see exhibitions of excellence, to visit artists in their studios,
to take in a drama production, and to hear live music.
‘Folk’ is the theme that will link the community offerings this year.
36 artists and makers in the curated exhibition in St Mary's Church
8 Open Studios in and around Kington
5 Independent Exhibitions
Live music, theatre, dance, film
We all have stories to tell, and art is a powerful instrument through which we can do so.
We invite you to come, see what we have made, and do some making of your own.

We are grateful to Kington Town Council, Kington Chamber of Trade, Bob Widdowson and our
fantastic team of dedicated volunteers for their support
