IT'S BACK THIS SATURDAY!

Since 2016, Rochester City Vintage & Artisan Market has brought you a HUGE RANGE of GENUINE ARTISAN CRAFTERS, MAKERS AND ARTIST who actually make the products you see on their stalls.

They all LOVE WHAT THEY DO and THEY SUPPORT OUR HISTORIC HIGH STREET via the stall fee they pay to be part of our monthly events.

In the last few years, that support has paid for: the flower baskets that line our High Street, new benches in Eastgate Gardens and in Eastgate Quarter, and keeps our historic bunting (oh yes it is!) up for eight months a year.

NO OTHER EVENT IN ROCHESTER DOES ALL THAT!

So, if you're coming to Rochester for any other reason this Saturday, come and see what our artisans have to offer... and you might find just what you've been looking for...

The market is all along the High Street, in its distinctive red gazebos, from the OXFAM store/ The George Vaults to Blue Boar Pavement opposite City Wall Wine Bar and The Eagle Tavern - Rochester from 10am to 3.30pm.

Few of my pens with my favorite wood. Olive wood is so unique 🌲

It’s not just pens and chopping boards that get made in the shed. Plywood desks are one of the strongest you can make and even stronger when you put 2 18mm sheets together! 💪
