Great Western Arcade is dedicated to fostering a vibrant community hub, and this new initiative will see the arcade using its space to help showcase the incredible talent of the region’s producers and craftspeople. Each market will have a different focus, where visitors can also enjoy unique experiences such as workshops, activities and talks.
