Marches Makers Festival 2024
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to our fifth Marches Makers Festival.
Since it’s 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 folk music.
‘Storytelling’ is the theme that links the community offerings this year. You can hear readings by local authors,
learn about the exciting realm of Book Art, sign up for bookmaking workshops, and come to the
Market Hall for a whole range of demonstrations and hands-on activities.
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
