Following September’s market, the Cygnet Square Market will take place again on Saturday 7th October at 10 am- 4 pm.

Old fabrics are cut/torn into thin strips then woven with a cardboard loom. You can make small tapestries. Materials will be provided but also feel free to bring your own fabric such as old clothes, colour T-shirts, and shirts! Recommended age: 7+ years.
The market will take place on the first Saturday of every month.
