Makers Market

Urban HQ is hosting a Makers Market on Saturday 21 November, from 10am to 3pm. It's a day for handmade crafts and collectibles, with jewellery, art and ceramics at the heart of it. The tables will be a mix of local makers and UWTSD students, who'll be selling work they've made as part of their BA (Hons) in Design Crafts. It's one of those markets where you can actually meet the people behind the things on display and pick up something unique rather than something off a shelf.

Urban HQ is at 37 Orchard Street, SA1 5AJ, with entrances on Orchard Street, Alexandra Road and Pleasant Street, so it's a short walk from Swansea train station. It's a hub for events that bring people together — networking sessions, foodie nights, creative workshops, business training and community meet-ups — and they describe it as a place for people to connect, learn and grow. The café is open on the day, so there's coffee, cake or a bite to eat if you fancy stopping for a while.

Entry is free, and if you're driving, the council-run Orchard Street Car Park is nearby at £1 an hour, with bike parking too. It runs from 10am to 3pm on Saturday 21 November at Urban HQ, 37 Orchard Street.
