Alford

The town’s renowned Craft Market, a staple of Alford life, recently celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2024, highlighting its enduring commitment to creativity and craftsmanship.

Beyond the market, Alford hosts a variety of exciting events throughout the year, from the nostalgic 1940s Weekend to the festive Christmas Extravaganza. These events bring people together, fostering a lively and welcoming environment that reflects the town's close-knit spirit. At the heart of this community is the Alford Hub, where over 100 active volunteers dedicate their time and energy to supporting the town and its residents. This collaborative spirit is what keeps Alford thriving and connected.

Creative Alford is led by Martyn, who is working hard to partner with various local organizations to bring engaging artistic opportunities to the town. Over the past year, Creative Alford has offered an impressive range of events and workshops. From graffiti sessions with iMAGESKOOL to free movie nights at the Corn Exchange, there’s always something exciting happening.

Creative Alford is always looking for volunteers and participants who are interested in contributing to art projects around town. Whether you're an artist looking to share your craft or someone who simply wants to get involved, your participation can help make Alford’s creative scene even more vibrant.
