Forest Markets are Forest of Dean based artists that wanted to organise and run their own events. This means managing the space, the publicity, and the cohesiveness of each show to create stand-out experiences for other artists, exhibitors and visitors alike.

We curate each event to showcase a balanced range of artistic disciplines that conform to our ethos of Unique, Handmade and Local, and artists, makers, and workshop leaders are selected on this basis.

Our events also feature hands-on workshops and demonstrations to support and promote the opportunities that are available in the Forest of Dean, in order to learn new skills from experienced tutors and workshop leaders.
