Makers Market at the Barbican

The Barbican Creative Hub is hosting its first ever Makers Market, and it's spread over two Saturdays rather than a single weekend: Saturday 28 November and Saturday 5 December. Both days run from 10am to 4pm, so if you can't make the first one, you've got a second chance a week later. It's held in The Cube, within the hub at 11 St Mary's Street, which puts it right opposite Lincoln train station.

More than 30 makers from Lincolnshire and the surrounding region are taking part, bringing a curated selection of contemporary crafts, prints, original artwork, textiles and design-led products. The hub describes them as things you won't find anywhere else, so it's more of a showcase for local work than a collection of high-street repeats. With over 30 different stalls across the two days, there's plenty to look through without having to rush.

Because it's split across two Saturdays, you can pick whichever date works best for you, or pop in to both if you're after something specific and want to see who's there. Café Salt & Fettle is open throughout the day, so you can grab a coffee and a bite to eat while you're browsing. Admission is free, and the venue is easy to find right by the station, so it's a straightforward one to drop into on a Saturday morning.
