Join Arc for a day of creativity, community, and handcrafted treasures at Arc's much-loved Handmade at Hat Works makers market! Discover unique gifts, beautiful art, and locally made goodies – all under one roof.

Perfect for treating yourself to something special or for a thoughtful gift. Plus, enjoy a free ice lolly if you're one of the first through the door!

Made to Make a Difference: From studio to shop - a new collection of Arc products will be available, made by participants on Arc's 'Creative Enterprise' programme, a follow-on pathway for arts and mental health programme graduates who aspire to develop their own commercial artistic practice or want to give back to the charity. All proceeds from shop sales and the event go back into funding Arc's creative programmes which transform lives through creativity.

Visit Arc for:

A range of wares from some of Stockport's most inspiring makers

Free ice lollies!

There's something for everyone – don't miss out on this extraordinary celebration of creativity and community.

This is a free, drop-in event from 10:00-15:00 with no pre-booking or payment required. Donations to the charity are welcome on the day.

Arc is excited to have confirmed the following makers: Honey Bee Design, ANH Ceramics, Emily Gates Art, Missy Makes, Carl Creates, The Foil Man, General Waste, The Bare Pencil, Sharon Giles Ceramics, Chloe Watts, Hannah Millington, Seith Mixed Media, Wendy Robb, Sarah McGrath and Richard Wickison.
