Muswell Hill Creatives is a collective of artists, designers and makers founded in 2014 to champion creativity and celebrate quality craftsmanship in North London.

On Saturday 17 October, it will be bringing people together to get creative at its 8th Make and Mend Festival - the 1st to be held at the iconic art deco Hornsey Town Halll in thriving and creative Crouch End.

Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a total beginner looking to spark a new passion, the event is your invitation to slow down, create, and connect. Visitors are invited to participate in making and mending workshops to learn new skills and take up new hobbies, as well as shopping from artists at the mini makers market.

Refreshments will be served by the Stroud Green WI and Sean's Shack which is open daily at the Hornsey Town Hall serving hot and cold drinks, sandwiches and more.

ADMISSION TO THE EVENT IS FREE. Workshop prices and more information about the event is here (https://www.muswellhillcreatives.com/make-and-mend.html)
