Makers' Markets are held by us every so often in the historic Yew Tree Hall in Lorton (previously the original Jennings' Brewery building).
These are curated events where you can see a wide range of really high quality goods handmade by professional Cumbrian artists and heritage crafters; the perfect place for finding for special gifts, unique home decor, or just a little treat for yourself.
