Lustre Craft and Design Market at Lakeside Arts
Friday 6 November – Sunday 8 November 2026
Lakeside Arts, University Park, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire(NG7 2RD)
Lustre is the handpicked craft and design market at Lakeside Arts, on the University Park campus in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, and it is back in November with handmade work for the home and for giving. More than fifty makers come from all over the UK, some of them regulars and some new this time, and you buy straight from the people who made each piece, with time to ask how it was done and what sparked the idea. Look out for fine jewellery, ceramics, textiles, glass, leather, bespoke tableware, prints and original art. With Christmas only weeks away, it is a weekend for gift hunting, for someone else or for yourself. It opens on the Friday evening, entry is free, Lakeside's own two car parks cost nothing, and the tram stops right outside.
