Now in its sixth year, the Yattendon Winter Market has become a much-loved annual event celebrating the creativity and craftsmanship of talented makers. On Saturday 29 & Sunday 30 November, the charming Yattendon Village Hall will once again be transformed into a vibrant showcase featuring 24 outstanding artists, designers, and craftspeople from the Modern Makers Collective.
Visitors can browse an inspiring range of handmade work, including jewellery, ceramics, textiles, glass, furniture, printmaking, knitwear, and basketry. Each piece is thoughtfully made, reflecting the skill, passion, and individuality of the maker behind it. Whether you’re searching for meaningful gifts or a special item for yourself, the market offers an opportunity to shop mindfully and support independent creators.
Set in the heart of the Berkshire countryside, Yattendon is the perfect backdrop for a winter market. Known for its Christmas tree farm and welcoming atmosphere, the village invites you to slow down and soak up the seasonal charm. After visiting the market, enjoy a stroll through the surrounding landscape, visit one of the local favourites like the award-winning Royal Oak pub or the nearby Renegade Brewery taproom.
More than just a market, the event is a celebration of creativity, connection, and curiosity. At the core of great design and craft is a desire to explore – to experiment with materials, reinterpret traditions, and bring fresh ideas to life. That same spirit runs through the Yattendon Winter Market, where returning visitors and newcomers alike will discover new collections, unexpected twists on familiar forms, and the stories behind the work.
One of the most rewarding aspects of the weekend is the chance to meet the makers in person. These are the people who throw the pots, weave the fibres, and carve the wood. Conversations with them bring added depth to each purchase, turning a beautiful object into something even more meaningful. Whether you're coming for inspiration, gifts, or simply a relaxing day out, we look forward to welcoming you!
