Make & Mend Festival is a day full of colour, creativity, positivity and wellbeing. It is the perfect introduction to a variety of crafts, giving you a chance to learn something new or enhance your existing skills. Each year we create a programme of wonderful workshops, designed to fuel your creative spirit and help you take valuable time for yourself. We curate a day where you can watch craft demonstrations, chill out with yoga, take part in drop-in activities, visit our maker marketplace offering a range of gorgeous products from local makers and of course, relax and enjoy some well-earned time for yourself.

The festival takes place in the beautiful grounds of Ormesby Hall in Middlesbrough, the perfect backdrop for a day of self-care and relaxation. We hope you can join us and share our passion for crafting and our belief is that making is good for the soul.
