As well as the traders, Not Normal Records will be DJing on the square throughout the day and the public are also invited to join UrbanSketchers to try out their drawing group – materials provided!
The Creative Place, possibly the smallest arts centre in the world, seeks to support and connect creatives, and showcase the wide range of creativity in Northamptonshire. The opportunity to have a stall at future Makers Markets is open to all Northants creatives and artists working in the Creative Industries.
