Pateley Makers Yard – Summer Open Studios & Artisan Market

Pateley Makers Yard is situated directly behind Nidderdale Museum, in the old workhouse buildings previously known as King Street Workshops.
21st-22nd August: Our Open Studios and Artisan Market will take place, where over two days of craftsmanship and creativity our Makers throw open their studio doors. Discover behind-the-scenes magic from stonemasons to sculptors, antiques dealers to jewellers, and explore pop-up exhibitions from talented local artists. With live music, Open Studios, bar, street food and a buzzing Artisan Market packed with handcrafted ceramics, textiles, fine art, woodwork, and locally-made food and drink. Whether you’re here to shop, sip, or get inspired — there’s something for everyone.
