Handmade In Highgate, the designer/maker Winter Fair @ Highgate Gallery
Nov 30 @ 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Handmade In Highgate, the Winter designer/maker fair

Friday 29 November – Sunday 1 December

Handmade In Highgate are the designer/artist/maker fairs held in the historic Highgate Literary and Scientific Institution. Carefully curated the fairs feature great makers from around the country – representing a variety of the highest quality contemporary craft in a wide price range.

The beautiful HLSI was founded in 1839 when it was set up as creative and social centre, promoting literature, the arts and science through the provision of a gallery space, members room and a library. Today the HLSI, a registered charity operates in a similar way and is generally closed to the public. The fair offers  visitors an opportunity not just to see one of the best maker fairs in town, but also to visit the historic building.

This year the Winter Fair will feature up to 30 brilliant makers. As ever we have plants, shrubs and flowers on the outside of the building, a book sale in the historic library and wonderful home made cakes and condiments.

Entrance is FREE and everyone is always welcome.

Handmade in Highgate will be open:

Friday 29 November: 5pm – 8pm

Saturday 30 November: 10am – 6pm

Sunday 1 December: 11am – 5pm
