Miniature Market

Miniature Market opens at Scarborough Market Hall on 12 November and runs through to 19 December. It's an installation that hangs from the mezzanine, so you'll see it from the main floor of the hall, where it lights up inside the life-size market.

The organisers describe it as "Fairylights with a twist!" and that's a fair summary. It's a collection of handmade, three-dimensional little shops and buildings, all crafted from repurposed and craft materials. Each one dangles from festoon lights, and they're battery-operated, so they glow from within. The whole thing is built to hang above the main level of the Market Hall, meaning you'll be walking around the actual market with this miniature version floating over your head.

There's a community side to it, too. The project feeds into a series of creative drop-in workshops where you can make your own illuminated miniature shop or building. Once you've finished yours, it gets displayed alongside the rest of the installation, so the market grows as more people get involved. If you're not usually one for making things, it's still worth a look just to see what everyone else has come up with.

It runs from 12 November to 19 December, so you've got over a month to catch it. The Market Hall opens at 8:00 AM each day, and the installation is up on the mezzanine.
