The seventh edition of the National Festival of Making will return to Blackburn, Lancashire on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th of July 2025!

Last weekend, record-breaking crowds gathered in Blackburn for a celebration of all things making! The town centre transformed into a vibrant playground of creativity and experimentation, offering something for the whole family to enjoy. Visitors engaged in diverse workshops, enjoyed lively performances, explored curated marketplaces, and visited fantastic exhibitions – just to name a few.

Mark your calendars – we can’t wait to do it all again next year!
