MAKEMORE Festival

In a bid to take back the High Street and encourage people to learn unique crafts that are at risk of extinction in the digital age, London’s first maker festival, MAKEMORE, is giving independent artists a platform to promote their craftmanship.

MAKEMORE encompasses the traditional party atmosphere of a festival with bars, street food stalls and a funfair, but will also bring together more than 100 artists, crafters, cooks and musicians to promote independent artistry.

The UK’s top independent makers will host workshops and demos at the four-day long festival that guests can get stuck into with exhibits from the likes of Wallace and Gromit creators Aardman Animations, polish chandelier artist Karolina Merska and street artist Nathan Bowen.

For both experienced creatives and amateurs who want to get stuck in, MAKEMORE is an opportunity to explore a variety of activities without having to sign up for long courses with hefty fees. The family-friendly festival is also running children’s entertainment and workshops every day from companies like the Polka Theatre and Little Angel Theatre.
