We’re inviting local creatives from all backgrounds - whether you create for fun, sell part-time, or make a full-time living—to join us for an informal social gathering this August.

It’s a relaxed evening to:

  • Meet like-minded artists, makers, and crafters

  • Share ideas, tips, and inspiration

  • Find out more about Creative Drayton and how you can get involved

  • Learn about opportunities to showcase and sell your work through our indoor market stall

  • Enjoy food and drink (optional) while chatting with fellow creatives

There’s no need to book—just pop by, grab a drink from the bar, and get to know others who are just as passionate about creativity as you are.

Creative Drayton Social – Monday, 4 August

The Stag, Market Drayton

Drop in any time between 6–8pm
