Free winter market with independent makers, candlelight, glowing fires and mulled wine over two days.
Makers' House is hosting its Winter Fair on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 November, and it's a good one to keep on your radar if you're looking for something to do in Hastings that doesn't involve a ticket or a booking. The fair takes over the whole house, which is a workshop and studio space on Tower Road West, so you'll be wandering through the building rather than sticking to one room.
Over the two days, the house fills with independent makers, each with their own work on display. It's a chance to see what people are actually making in the studios here, and to buy directly from them. The whole thing is set up with candlelight, glowing fires and mulled wine, so it's more of a slow-paced afternoon or evening than a quick trip in and out. If you've spent any time around the studios on Tower Road West, you know the kind of thing that comes out of them, and this brings a lot of it together under one roof for a weekend.

It runs across two days with different hours for each. On Friday 13 November, it's open from 12pm to 9pm, which takes it well into the evening if you fancy a late one. Saturday 14 November is 11am to 6pm, a bit more of a daytime affair. Entry is free, and there's no booking needed, so you can just turn up whenever suits you best. If you're in Hastings that weekend, it's a straightforward way to spend a few hours.
