See the programme below. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store:
Festive makers market Explore our vibrant makers market! Wander through stalls hosted by our talented student entrepreneurs from CASE, offering handmade goodies you won’t find anywhere else. From artisanal accessories to original artwork, and delicious baked treats to handcrafted fashion, there’s a treasure waiting for everyone.
Kids' fashion workshop and parade Little designers, this is your time to shine! Art in the Docks is running an interactive fashion workshop where kids can craft their own tote bags, headwear and more. At 12:30 pm, watch them strut their stuff in a mini fashion parade at Docklands Square. It’s the perfect way for young creators to show off their masterpieces.
Free hot chocolate for all Warm up with a complimentary hot chocolate when you arrive – our treat! Head to Docklands and Stratford Squares for a cosy start to your day (while stocks last).
