Our Celebration of Makers festival is back for 2026!

Two Temple Place and the City & Guilds of London Art School’s partnership returns as we open for a free Celebration of Makers festival. Over four days we will celebrate the unique craftsmanship at Two Temple Place through demonstrations of – and opportunities to have a go at – wood and stone carving, gilding, conservation and stained glass, alongside creative workshops and talks on craft and making.

As well as celebrating those who were instrumental in making Two Temple Place, the festival acts as an opportunity to showcase the brilliant work of City & Guilds’ students, who will be demonstrating their skills and sharing methods of making.

We are delighted to welcome back Crafty Fox Market, an independent makers’ market, on Saturday 29 August and we will host a series of family workshops throughout the weekend. The festival forms part of our wider cultural & community programme, through which we programme creative events, building tours and community activity throughout the year.

FREE admission all weekend.
