The popular Summer Makers’ Fair is back this weekend at Ilkley Manor House.
Taking place on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 July, between 10am and 4pm each day, this vibrant weekend will see the historic courtyard transformed into a bustling market filled with beautiful handmade items: selling fine art prints, jewellery, textiles, stained glass, homeware, and greeting cards.
As well as makers market, there will be a live concert by the Phoenix Singers, performing The Joy of Music with Kate Stevens and Robert Sudall on Saturday from 2:30 to 3:30pm.

Ilkley Manor House will be open as usual and visitors can enjoy two ongoing exhibitions:
- The Great Ilkley Flood of July 1900: which explores a dramatic moment in local history.
- The Young Photographer Competition: featuring powerful images captured by young people in our community.
Upstairs in the Solar Gallery, local artists are showcasing work on the theme Poetry and Image.
It will be a weekend full of creativity, heritage, and inspiration. Entry to the fair and house is free, no booking required.
