2025 Festival Dates: 5 & 6 July

KITCHEN TABLES

A brand new festival space to spotlight the making that happens at home.

Our kitchen tables are not just dining spaces – they’re places we make, we work, we gather and more. Here you’ll find a selection of workshops all connected to the many uses of our dining spaces, and what they mean to us.
