Bring your love of exploring markets to Redlands Coast, where regular farmer and craft markets offer a tantalising range of fresh produce and unique items. Browse the stalls at quaint, community markets, twilight craft markets right on Raby Bay Harbour in the village of Cleveland, island markets, organic markets and more. With coastal calm flowing in on ever-present bay breezes, Redlands Coast offers the perfect relaxed ambience for discovering the naturally wonderful marketplaces across the region.
Held alongside the Heritage Artisan Faire Workshops, the Museum's Blacksmith Exhibition will take centre stage during Redlands Coast AdventureFest and feature as part of the new Redlands Coast Gallery and Museum Hop.
Celebrating the art and heritage of blacksmithing, the exhibition showcases handcrafted works created by the Museum's volunteer blacksmiths in the onsite Blacksmith Shed. Decorative pieces including bells, hearts and poppies will be on display, with selected items available for purchase in the Museum Shop.
Live demonstrations every Thursday and Saturday offer visitors the chance to experience the forge in action and meet the artisans behind the craft. Two Beginners Blacksmith Workshops will also be held on 17 and 21 May, with limited places available.
During AdventureFest, glass artist Peter Kane will also present his striking fused glass creations, with works available for purchase.
An engaging celebration of craftsmanship, creativity and heritage for all ages.
