National Festival of Making 2024

Saturday 6th July 2024 to Sunday 7th July 2024

Blackburn, Lancashire

The National Festival of Making returns to Blackburn on the first weekend in July with lots of exciting art, craft, making, and musical activities and opportunities to enjoy.

The National Festival of Making is a unique celebration of making, from the kitchen table to the factory floor.

Presenting a programme of work that combines Art, Manufacturing, Making and Communities, we commission international and national artists to create world class works, a year round programme and a participatory FREE FAMILY festival for all to enjoy.
