Visit Banks Mill during our winter Open Studios to meet over 50 artists, designers, makers and creative services businesses. As well as seeing first-hand how our artists create their unique designs and handmade products you can also buy original work directly from the artists themselves, something that can’t be experienced on the high street. Or meet one of our creative service businesses to discuss how they can work with you; from digital and video promotion to photography services.
- Free entry
- Free prize draw
- Exhibition of artwork over five floors
- Kid’s art trail
Please note there is no lift in Banks Mill so there is limited access to the ground floor only for less abled visitors.
