Past, Present and the Future......

Lottery Project Update

We've had an archaeologist on site recently to undertake a historic building recording of Old Bolsover Yard as part of our Heritage Lottery Project.

This work will record and analyse the structures at Old Bolsover Yard and along with additional research being undertaken at Derbyshire Record Office will aim to give a greater understanding of the development and use of the buildings over time.

We're expecting a report from this work which we will be sharing with you all as soon as we can.

A Unique Shopping Experience

We've been working with Bolsover District Council and the team from Bolsover TV to help promote all the businesses that are based at the yard and the fantastic products and services that are on offer. Scott and Charlotte recently spent some time filming with us.

It's now more important than ever to shop local and support the small businesses in your area - we need you!

There's another date for your diary too as Totally Locally Fiver Fest will be back again in October. This will be the third time Old Bolsover Yard has been involved and we can't wait to bring you more fantastic offers for your fivers!

Makers Market

Sunday 6th September sees our first Makers Market of the year. Sadly we had to cancel those planned for April and July due to the Coronavirus Pandemic.

In order to keep you as safe as possible we've reduced the number of artisans attending to ensure there is plenty of space for us to socially distance as per current requirements.

There will be a one way system in place along with plenty of hand sanitiser - don't forget your face coverings as you'll need them.

If you've been following along with the announcements on our social media channel you may already know that we will be joined by Handmade by Helen, Alasta Handmade, Cards & Crafts by Lilly & Faye, Leathercraft by George, and Thomas Taylor - Historical Ropemaker. Ethos Upcycling and Molly Felicity Designs will also be supporting the event and The Gallery will be open too.

So whether you are looking for Cottage Industry Crochet Creations, Leather Goods, Resin Art and Jewellery, Handmade Rope Gifts or Cards, Bookmarks and Key Chains we've got it all at our Makers Market.

See you there
