Handmade Nottingham's Birthday Party!

Handmade Nottingham is celebrating its 12th birthday on Friday 6 November, and they're throwing a party to mark it. The shop is at 8 King's Walk, and the night kicks off at 18:00. Entry is free, so it's an easy one to drop into if you're around the city centre that evening.

For context, Handmade Nottingham is an independently owned and run shop that champions UK designer makers, so the whole place is built around showcasing work from across the country. This particular party is themed around the 1990s, and they're leaning into it with a nineties party atmosphere: balloons, cake, trinkets and party bags. It's less of a quiet shop visit and more of a proper celebration, with the shop itself dressed for the occasion.

There are a few things to pick up while you're there. Everything in store is 10% off for the night, and there are limited goodie bags available with a minimum spend. The workshop space will play host to small business pop-ups, and there'll be live portraits happening throughout. If you've been meaning to pick up something from the shop, it's a good time to do it, especially with the discount on everything.

If you can't make the party, the shop still runs its usual click-and-collect from Tuesday to Saturday, 11:00 to 17:00, and Sunday 12:00 to 16:00, with online orders dispatched Tuesday to Saturday within one to two working days. But for the birthday itself, it's Friday 6 November from 18:00 at 8 King's Walk, with free entry.
