We’re currently planning a Christmas event and will keep you updated on the date soon!
What we do know is that we’re excited to create an event that highlights quirky makers and sellers. Our goal is always to offer you new and unique gifts for yourself and your loved ones.
Sign-up for updates!
Halloween Handmade – Oct 2024
Halloween Handmade returned for 2024, after taking a break in 2023. We missed this quirky, fun event so much we brought it back for 24. It was much-needed and we have plans for more.
Halloween Handmade – Oct 2022
In October 2022, we hosted Halloween Handmade on our own website, with support from our sister team, IDEAS Birmingham. This was our first self-hosted event, and we truly enjoyed the experience.
As our first step into independence, we aimed to showcase something unique, as we believe many quirky, non-commercial makers often get overlooked during this spooky season. It was just as much fun as we had hoped, and we’re excited to explore other niches we can promote.
If you have a seasonal event in mind that you’d like to see featured, let us know! We are open to suggestion.
Alternative Valentines – Feb 22
We co-hosted this fun event with IDEAS Birmingham online at Tresstle earlier this year. We had so much fun that we are planning more quirky themed events for next year.
Halloween Handmade – Oct 2021
Our sister team IDEAS Birmingham hosted this online at Tresstle last year in collaboration with Worcestershire Etsy. It was fabulous, so it is back for 2022.
