Did you join us on Strand Wharf on Bank Holiday Monday? There was a fantastic atmosphere all day as hundreds of happy art lovers mingled with our stall-holders in the Old Town, connecting and buying, laughing and chatting.

One of our aims when we started Old Leigh Artists' Market in 2019 was to create a relaxing space for visitors to engage with the art community. We think our photographer friend Sean Buckley captured this perfectly on Monday.

And the good news is we're doing it all again later in the summer. Keep an eye on our socials for announcements about our next event. Until the next time...

We're so looking forward to welcoming you back to Strand Wharf for another Old Leigh Artists' Market this Bank Holiday Monday (May 4th). If you're not sure what to expect, here's a flashback to a previous event when hundreds of happy visitors converged on Old Leigh to soak up the atmosphere, meet our artists and take home paintings, sculptures, photographs, mosaics and much more.
Somebody once called us Leigh's friendliest market. We couldn't have put it better! See you all from 10am on Monday...

Not long now until we welcome you all back to Strand Wharf for another Old Leigh Artists' Market (Bank Holiday Monday, May 4th). Grab a copy of the Leigh News for a preview, featuring a wonderful photo of ceramicist Madelaine Hanman Murphy, who sums up everything that's great about our event.

Madelaine has been bringing joy, enthusiasm and, of course, her gorgeous ceramics to our market since the first one way back in 2019. On top of that, she's full or surprises. Find out what she has in store for 2026 on Strand Wharf this Monday...

What a gorgeous Bank Holiday Monday we enjoyed on Strand Wharf. There was sunshine from start to finish, hundreds of happy visitors, and 25 artists brought a perfectly chilled, friendly vibe to Old Leigh. Our thanks to everybody who made the event so cheerful and colourful... especially those who went in search of emergency parasols for our sun-kissed stallholders! Here's a flavour of the day through the lenses of our friend Sean Buckley and Artists' Market regular Mark Taylor. And keep an eye on our socials for announcements about our spring event in May 2026. Until the next time...

Not long now until we welcome you all back to Strand Wharf for another Old Leigh Artists' Market (Bank Holiday Monday, August 25th).

What a fabulous time today on Strand Wharf. The rain stayed away (even if the wind didn't), our market was teeming with visitors from the start, and 25 artists brought a wonderfully creative, friendly buzz to Old Leigh. Our thanks to everybody who made the event so cheerful and colourful - especially those who chased after artworks that were carried away on the breeze! Here's a flavour of the day through the lens of our friend Sean Buckley. We're already looking forward to doing it again in August! Until the next time...
