StationeryFest x CreativityFest is an opportunity to:
Celebrate Analogue Hobbies:
Immerse yourself in a welcoming sanctuary dedicated to tactile, creative, and offline pastimes - from journaling, scrapbooking, memory-keeping and paper planning to arts, crafts, sketching, mindfulness and tactile handicrafts.
Support AMAZING Independent Businesses & Makers:
Explore a vibrant, curated marketplace filled with inspiring independent artists, indie stationery brands, and iconic favourites, giving you the chance to discover unique products and shop small. All traders have agreed to our strict no AI policy for all products sold.
Connect with the Creative Community:
Experience an uplifting, inspiring atmosphere where you can connect with your tribe, discover new activities and celebrate your shared passion for pen and paper and other analogue pursuits.
Enjoy Fun StationeryFest Traditions:
Take part in StationeryFest traditions, such as the FREE stamp rally (no purchase necessary) - where you can collect unique inked stamps from different stallholders. There are also graffiti walls, photo opportunities and friendship bracelet swaps (Taylor Swift inspired). Don't worry if you are attending the event solo; staff and stallholders are super approachable and happy to swap bracelets and there is even a meeting point you can go to if you want to meet others who want to swap bracelets.
Creative Activities and Workshops:
Some stallholders will be offering creative activities, interactions, demos and inspiration at their stalls.
Paid workshop sessions for small groups are also scheduled (subject to availability, additional booking and workshop fee applicable).
The ticket cost for StationeryFest x CreativityFest depends on the specific entry time chosen, with standard tickets £5-£20. If you arrive later in the day tickets are cheaper and it is also quieter if you want to avoid crowd.
