Handmade in Ayr markets
Handmade in Ayr was started in 2019 by Ayr glass artist Leona Stewart to give local makers somewhere to sell their work. It began in The Grain Exchange in Ayr and moved to the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Alloway in 2022. This December there are two festive markets indoors at the museum, with Ayrshire-made art and prints, jewellery, wood, glass, textiles, millinery, decorations, candles and natural skincare. Entry and parking are free.
