Popular makers market, Sudley House Handmade, set to return this Summer

National Museums Liverpool is delighted to announce the return of Sudley House Handmade for 2025, with summer and winter editions planned following the overwhelming success of the inaugural event last year. 

The summer edition will take place on Saturday 16 August 2025, while the winter market will follow on Saturday 22 November 2025, bringing the magic of local craftsmanship back to this historic south Liverpool venue.  The debut Sudley House Handmade in November 2024 attracted hundreds of visitors eager to discover unique handcrafted gifts in the atmospheric setting of the former merchant’s mansion.  

Grace Edwards, Marketing Officer at National Museums Liverpool, said:  

“We were absolutely thrilled with the response to our first Sudley House Handmade market. The feedback from both visitors and traders was exceptional, and we can’t wait to build on that success with our 2025 events. 

“The summer edition will offer something different, giving visitors the chance to explore the beautiful grounds of Sudley House alongside discovering amazing local talent. Our winter market will once again transform the historic rooms into a festive shopping experience, perfect for finding those special Christmas gifts.” 

Applications for stallholders will open mid-April 2025, with the final lineup expected to showcase a diverse range of quality handmade products from local makers, designers, and artisans. November’s market featured everything from ceramics and textiles to jewellery, prints, and homeware, with a focus on highlighting the best of local craftsmanship.
