Exciting news! New for 2026 the Forest Markets Spring Fair will showcase our talented artists, come along and support them.
Hosted in a new venue in collaboration with Botanica, the Spring Fair will bring together a wonderful selection of local artists and makers to Labels Shopping Centre in Ross-on-Wye. Visitors will be able to meet the artists and discover a range of original artwork and handmade pieces and take part in workshops in a welcoming and creative setting. More information coming soon.
Save the Dates! This is our 5th year of celebrating creativity and community at Forest Markets in Ruardean Memorial Village Hall. Join us again for the Forest Markets Christmas Fair.
Our much-loved Christmas Fair brings together a wonderful selection of artists and makers, offering visitors the chance to discover original artwork, handmade gifts, and beautiful seasonal pieces. Come along, meet the artists, and enjoy a festive celebration of creativity with our festive workshops.
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.
Forest Markets are Affiliated Members of farOpen and we are hugely grateful for all of the support that the farOpen team offers us with the additional promotion of our events.
Our website will be updated regularly with information about our latest events, so please keep checking back and also follow us on Instagram Forest Markets
