The Hepworth Wakefield Festive Market

20 November – 29 November 2026
Tileyard North, Wakefield, West Yorkshire(WF1 5FY)

Run by The Hepworth Wakefield art gallery, this festive market in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, is a place to make a start on Christmas presents from independent makers. For 2026 it gains more room upstairs at Tileyard North, in a new event space where more than 100 makers across two weekends sell ceramics, prints, jewellery, textiles, homeware, stationery and food and drink, opening with a Friday evening session. Between the stalls there are art activities for children, live music, pop-up portraits and printmaking, and street food from Bundobust, Proper Good Pizza and The Taco Trailer, with Fennell's ice cream to follow. Under-18s and gallery members go in free, and a ticket for the gallery's Marc Chagall: The Circus exhibition gets you into the market too.
