National Festival of Making 2025

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.

Watch a highlights reel here to see what it's all about.

More information to follow once released by the Festival of Making organisers.

Mark your calendars in the meantime, and stay updated on festival announcements by following them on social media or sign up for their newsletter.
