The Cirencester Arts & Crafts Market is a vibrant monthly event celebrating the creativity and craftsmanship of local makers. Held in the heart of the town at Cirencester Market Place (GL7 2NZ), it provides a welcoming, community focused space where artisans can exhibit and sell their work.
Each market brings together over 40 stalls featuring a wide array of handmade and artist-produced items. Typical offerings include:
• Pottery and ceramics
• Jewellery
• Paintings and fine art
• Handmade toys such as teddy bears
• Unique decorative crafts
No two markets are exactly the same, thanks to the diverse pool of local creatives who participate each month. This variety ensures there is something for everyone, whether you’re browsing for a gift, home décor, or a personal treat.
The Arts & Crafts Market runs on the first Saturday of every month, with typical opening hours from 9:00am to 5:00pm.
These regular dates make it a dependable fixture in Cirencester’s cultural calendar, drawing in both residents and visitors looking to enjoy handmade work in a friendly market atmosphere.
The market is set in Cirencester’s Market Place, right by the historic St. John’s Church. This central setting adds charm to the experience and makes the market easy to reach on foot from shops, cafés, and other town attractions. Pets are welcome, and admission is completely free, making it an accessible outing for all ages.
