Embrace the spirit of the season by supporting independent talent at The Art House.

Searching for those perfect, one-of-a-kind gifts while giving back to the creative community? Look no further — Wakefield’s new immersive retail experience, Makers Wonderland, is your ultimate winter destination.

Step into a spellbinding winter wonderland where the charm of a traditional Christmas market meets the curated elegance of a contemporary art exhibition. Makers Wonderland launches at The Art House on 9 November 2024. 

Our Tiled Gallery has been transformed into a cosy, magical space brimming with locally made treasures. From handcrafted ceramics to unique textiles, each item in this curated collection has been thoughtfully selected to showcase Yorkshire’s most inspiring artists, makers, and designers.

Warm up with a seasonal drink from our Coffee House, sink into a plush armchair by the fireplace, and lose yourself in the enchanting array of gifts on display. Our exquisite selection of products are all available for immediate purchase, making it easy to find something special for everyone on your list.

Discover the beautiful craftsmanship of Yorkshire’s finest makers, including Seanna Doonan’s illustrative prints and Hannah Way’s beautifully hand-thrown ceramic candlesticks, made here at The Art House. Uncover exclusive pieces like Dave Royston’s vibrant screen-printed homewares, from cushions and baskets to upholstered vintage chairs. Also available to buy are Amelia France Wood’s ceramic tiles and Sophie Amelia’s screen-printed Christmas decorations.

Whether you’re hunting for a small token, thoughtful gifts or a grand gesture, the festive Makers Wonderland offers a truly unique shopping experience. By shopping here, you’re not just buying a gift-you’re supporting the heart of Yorkshire’s creative community and taking home a piece of its artistry.

This winter season, let your shopping be as meaningful as your giving. Visit the Makers Wonderland and make your Christmas truly magical. Support small, shop independent!
