Reflecting on NRG’s September Pop Up: A Series of Seller Interviews
Words by Nuray Abduyeva
In the spirit of the new year, what better way than to reflect on some previous highlights from 2024 at the Norman Rea Gallery. With that in mind, this week Nuray Abduyeva (a fantastic photographer in her own right who exhibited with us at ‘Cultural Resistance: Celebrating Palestinian Art, Culture, and Heritage’) looks back on one of the most popular events of NRG’s calendar.
On September 19th 2024, the Norman Rea Gallery held its bi-annual pop-up market, offering a platform for small businesses and local creatives to showcase and sell their products. The market featured a variety of items, such as: crochet bags, independent clothing, art, books, vinyl records, and handmade soaps. I took the opportunity to interview several of the sellers, discussing their design process, the challenges they face in running a small business and their future business goals. The sellers I spoke with include: Tash Crane Bags, MUSHTHEWORLD, BYISABELLA, Crochet by Haneyah, Hallswolls, Morgan, Azalea, Lily Windsor Walker, PITCH22, and York Swirling Soapery.
TASH CRANE BAGS (@tashcranebags)
Overview of business:
I’m a recent History of Art graduate, which I studied at York - but I’m originally from North London. At Tash Crane Bags, I design unique and bespoke bags from end of line/deadstock materials - some of the materials I use are widely commercially available, but I often source a lot of fabric myself from second hand shops and upcycle them into yarn by hand. I’ve been selling bags since 2021, but I began crocheting again in the December lockdown of 2020 after my mum taught me.
I love that my bags always have an element of unpredictability and surprise? I never know what exact shades of blue will show up on my door, or what I’ll find when I go fabric sourcing. It means no two bags are ever the same, so it’s never really got boring. It does definitely make crocheting bags challenging though, I can sometimes spend a few nights on one bag just trying to get the weight distributed evenly throughout it and making sure the colours still look right. I find in London there’s inspiration everywhere I look, whether that’s colour combinations, outfits I see or textures of buildings - it makes me want to make a bag to fit every occasion and every interesting person I see.
I mainly aim to sell to students, which is why I’m not overly focussed on profitability - I love making bags to make bags, not to upsell/oversell them. Students and young people have very little access to unique or quality clothing at an accessible price - I like to think every bag I make is one less PLT order, or the awkward ‘we have the same ASOS bag’ situation on the tube. I love that so many of my friends can wear a Tash Crane Bag on a night out but not wear ‘the same bag’…and seeing a bag when I’m out and about is always the best, or hearing that people have made friends on nights out because they recognise each other’s bags.
What are the challenges of running a small business on a day-to-day basis and overall?
I’m quite lucky because I don’t have to do much except make bags - my business model isn’t complicated, I sell on Depop (at the moment) so it’s easy e-commerce stuff. I’ve wanted to keep my bag business as a fun side project more than a creative outlet that gets stuck behind spreadsheets about potential growth and profitability. I think the hardest part is probably that profitability is hard to measure, I can finish a bag in one evening, or it could take days - it’s hard to reflect that in the price of each bag because they’re all so unique.
Most days if I’m crocheting, it’s while I’m watching a crappy film or listening to a podcast - so it’s hard to say it’s particularly taxing! I’m really lucky that it’s stayed fun these whole three years.
How do you balance creativity with the technical and administrative responsibilities of running a business?
It’s hard to feel like you make a lot of ‘progress’ when you’re doing everything on your own in terms of the business side, but progress means something different to everyone. I find it tricky to work out how I’m going to get a website built, whilst all I want to do is go and do fun photoshoots with my friends… there’s a balance to get right and sometimes the fun and important creative stuff means you have to pause the ‘progress’ admin stuff. It’s a bit stop and start, but I’d always rather take my time than rush anything. Tasks and timelines only really motivate me when I’m working within a team, when I set myself goals and deadlines it can sometimes feel arbitrary? So I try to get my friends involved with shoots, which forces me to get my ducks in a row, because then it becomes something fun to look forward to, and I want to avoid wasting anyone else’s time.
What do you envision for the future of your business? Do you have any goals?
I’m about to start full time work across two jobs, so my main goal is to keep the business going while I’m working…which might be a challenge. I still really want to set up a website, which will hopefully come in time. It should be fun working on some studio shoots for that, and having more specific shoot ideas - I find sometimes the photos I take don’t always suit ‘instagram’ and its purposes - but having a website that can be half portfolio, half shop would be really rewarding and motivate me to be more adventurous and experimental.
I want to try and treat the bag business almost more like an art project. I really miss making art but struggled to pluck it out of thin air. Tash Crane Bags was always a great way for me to give myself direction with producing art or styling. I am also trying to get more blokes into Tash Crane Bags, I keep telling my friends that bags are for boys too!! I seriously think a lot of guys would rock a bag, it would be really nice to do some shoots that are more menswear focussed.
What other businesses inspire you? Would you be interested in collaborating with any businesses in particular?
Mush The World and Felix Collier are two York legends in my opinion… Their partnership is so great, and I loved their Euros Pop Up at Spark from summer! There are so many brands in London I love as well, I love the original Depop girlie Isabella Vrana, Fruity Booty, 202 Street, honestly too many to name - I feel like there are some businesses in London that inspire me in all senses, from their visual merchandising and store design - I’d love to be able to share a space with them and create a really beautiful shop atmosphere and style.

MUSHTHEWORLD (@mushtheworld)
Overview of business:
I started Mush in 2021 whilst at university. I always wanted to start my own brand and I started to get back into my art for over a year at the time, just practising my designs and rediscovering what I liked. I started calling the sketchbooks I filled with these designs the ‘mush books’ and that's kind of where the name started to stick. At first, I was just focused on making t-shirts I thought my friends would like and things just grew naturally from there. I didn't have a concrete plan at the start but I just believed I could do it and, as the passion grew, so did the brand.
What is the inspiration behind your logo?
The logo was really just made without much thought at the time. I have a few styles of writing and that was how I wrote the M and I liked that particular M the most…I have it tattooed on my left wrist now.
What are the challenges of running a small business on a day-to-day basis and overall?
Pretty much every single part of running a business is challenging from choosing designs to shoots to promo to working with suppliers. It all comes with complications, the trick for me was romanticising it.
How do you balance creativity with the technical and administrative responsibilities of running a business?
I run Mush by myself so for me it's important to make sure everything on the admin side is smooth before I start getting creative. It's all hand in hand. There are creative ideas I have that I just don't have the resources to pull off right now but I do the absolute most I can. In the same way, there are things on the business side I wouldn't do because they don’t reflect the brand and I know the people who support the brand wouldn’t like either
What do you envision for the future of your business? Do you have any goals?
I really just want Mush to be as big as possible, I want it to be a brand recognised all over. I want people to see the M and just recognise it straight away like the bat signal or the GB flag.
BYISABELLA (@byisabella.co)
Overview of business
I am a 19 year old student at the University of York and I have recently started a small fashion business. We sell original printed products designed by me, Isabella. These products include; t-shirts, baby tees, hoodies, and tote bags. We launched our website in July, but have been working on opening the business since January. I have always been passionate about art and fashion, and I particularly love creating abstract mixed media pieces. I was inspired to start byisabella after completing my Alevel in fine art and was thinking about how I could continue to be creative and utilise my passion further.
How do you differentiate your business from others?
We differentiate the business by offering a carefully curated, focussed range of fashion items based on original pieces of my own artwork. Byisabella is a brand that is essentially a journey through the design process, culminating in a unique range of fashion and accessories for people to buy and love.
What is your design process from start to finish?
I created the original byisabella designs as part of my A-Level art final piece. There are 36 mixed media pieces some of which are featured in our launch range, and the others will be released soon. These pieces are then digitally scanned and rendered so that we can use them for our products, and the colours are edited in order to create our logos and monochromatic designs.
In this day and age, I believe that the main challenge for any small business owner is trying to gain traction and exposure through using social media. So this has been my main marketing focus as well as trying to direct people to our own website.
How do you balance creativity with the technical/administrative business side of things?
I am very lucky as I have a business minded father who is also a byisabella director and therefore we can split the roles into the more creative tasks that I enjoy fulfilling and the more technical, financial side of things which he is much better at than me.
What do you envision for the future of your business? Do you have any goals?
I see byisabella growing into a larger, more well known fashion brand. I am currently concentrating my marketing effort on York before hopefully expanding to a more national level. I am planning more upcoming collections with new, unique designs which I hope to release soon.
CROCHET BY HANEYAH (@crotchetbyhaneyah)
Overview of business:
My name is Haneyah and I am a final year Law student at UOY. I have a small crochet business that I run via Instagram, where I crochet clothes, accessories and plushies amongst a lot of other products. I’ve been running the business for about two years, and my target audience has mainly been other university students. I started by selling crochet clothes because I would post the tops I made on my Instagram story and wear them around the Law school, and I had a few people approach me asking where I got them from – that’s mainly where my business started!
What are the challenges of running a small business on a day-to-day basis and overall?
I draw a lot of inspiration from social media like Pinterest and YouTube. If I see something I’d like to create, I'll have a look at the design and try to freestyle using colours I like. I also love free-handing mesh tops; a lot of my creativity comes out there because there are so many stitches you can use and most of the time the top will turn out super cute. I am extremely flexible when it comes to design work and do a lot of things based on specific customer commissions. When customers approach me with something they may be interested in commissioning, I send them inspiration photos and we discuss any amendments they might like to make regarding size, colour and basically anything else. We then establish a price based on these amendments.
This is something that differentiates me from other businesses. For example, I will have done plushies based on customers' pets. When it comes to sizing I will go through specific measurements for each part of the item as I personally know how hard it can be commissioning made-to-measure clothes online. This attention to detail and relationship that I build with all my customers is integral to my business. Additionally, a lot of my products are more affordable compared to other crochet businesses because I know my target audience is university students and I’m completely fine with that.
How do you balance creativity with the technical and administrative responsibilities of running a business?
I think because my business is still quite small, it's not that hard to manage. If anything, I see it as a hobby or way to relax alongside my degree. I think managing social media can be tricky sometimes as my talents lie more in the actual crafting rather than creating content, but at this point in time I just post what I make as I go along. As I expand my business, I think I will focus more on engagement and content via social media. However, doing a pop-up at the Norman Rea Gallery was a chance for me to get exposure within the wider university and not just my degree or social circle. I definitely want to do something like it again as it's nice for people to come and physically see your products alongside posting them on social media.
What do you envision for the future of your business? Do you have any goals?
My main focus is to work on my business throughout the final year of my study before I start working as a lawyer and inevitably having less time to focus on my hobbies. Whilst that might sound a bit sad, I am glad that I have this kind of passion to focus on where I can enjoy myself whilst ‘working.’ I have a really good support network for my business and repeat customers who I really appreciate. My advice to anyone who has a passion like this and wants to create a business out of this is just to go for it! I have no regrets when it comes to starting @crochetbyhaneyah and I can't wait to see what the future holds for it.
Do you have any upcoming events?
Yes actually I’m doing a pop up at the Norman Rea Gallery on the 30th of Jan! It’s crochet products like hand warmers, winter headbands, small accessories, and then also cute vintage clothes as well.
HALLSWOOLS (@hallswools)
Overview of business:
Hi! I'm Lauren, I'm a 22 year old history student and have pretty much been crafting since I was 8/9 years old when my nan taught me to crochet. From there I started painting and modelling, most recently learning to knit at the start of the pandemic, which is around when I set up my shop. My shop is a mixture of these interests - I sell fun quirky items that I think fun quirky people will enjoy wearing! My knitted items are all unique -- they're all my own designs!
I really enjoy knitting things, sticking to natural fibers as this is the most sustainable and the nicest to work with and wear (they also last longer). I wanted to share my love of knitting and crafting with everyone, creating different clothes and accessories that you can't find anywhere else, which is why I set up the shop.
What is your design process from start to finish?
I usually think seasonally, drawing inspiration from popular trends and putting my own twist on them. I usually sketch my designs, both knits and modelling before I start creating. Designing a pattern is quite time consuming, and sometimes requires a bit of trial and error to get it right. I'd usually take 1-2 weeks to design and make a smaller piece (e.g. a hat), with a jumper taking longer, say 3 weeks up to over a month.
My fimo earrings are definitely led by themes, I currently have a range of autumn/Halloween ones for sale! I'm planning on bringing out a range of fruit drop earrings, so keep a lookout!
What are the challenges of running a small business on a day-to-day basis and overall?
I think the main challenge is getting the required exposure of the shop. Managing social media is actually quite time consuming, and because of various algorithms it makes it harder for posts to reach new followers. There is also no guarantee of profit, so it's hard to know how much to invest.
How do you balance creativity with the technical and administrative responsibilities of running a business?
I think it's important to remember that the more products you have, the more administrative tasks you have to do! It's best to find a balance between the two.
What do you envision for the future of your business? Do you have any goals?
I would love my products to reach a wider group of people! In the future it would be great to take commissions for fair-isle design jumpers and hats! The aim is to develop my skills and time management, as well as traffic to the site so I can make commissions sustainable.
What other businesses inspire you? Would you be interested in collaborating with any businesses in particular?
I think I'm inspired by Fabrication, that shop has such a wide array of talented makers and it is lovely seeing everyone's skills come to life. I think the atmosphere of the Shambles Market is also quite inspiring, as each stall has its own unique personality.
Morgan (@asharkmakesart)
Overview of business:
I’m Morgan and I sell prints of my art, which is mostly maximalist mixed media A4 pieces and occasionally lino prints and zines. I’ve been running it for about a year. I’ve made art all my life but only got serious about it in the last two years as an escape from university work. I never really thought of my work as good enough to sell but I’ve improved a lot; my first market was as a table-mate for my friend @drawingwithazi and it gave me confidence to carry on. My target audience is probably queer people, medieval enthusiasts, and people who are full of love.
What is your design process from start to finish?
My inspiration comes a lot from music and lyrics, or things I’ve recently seen or read; I also love stained glass and manuscripts, or I take very specific things that have happened to me and make things from them. The process always takes quite a long time, as I seem to be incapable of making anything minimalistic. I tend to either make a plan and base sketch using Procreate and then transfer it to traditional media (often I just print it out), or I start with a small portrait and it just sort of gets out of hand.
What are the challenges of running a small business on a day-to-day basis and overall?
I really struggle with the whole online presence thing. I have so much work that I’ve just not posted because they’re “smaller” pieces and it feels like everything I should post should be a huge project when I don’t do them very often. It’s been a bit of a learning curve figuring out how to make decent prints too (printers are not cooperative!).
How do you balance creativity with the technical and administrative responsibilities of running a business?
I think it’s okay generally. It’s just odd having had art as a hobby for a long time, then having the thought in the back of your mind when you’re making things of “is this good enough to sell?” and, if it isn’t, “is this a waste of time?”. I try to have two days totally off from uni/work a week, so sometimes it’s hard to make art not seem like work because of this. I don’t mind the administrative side, and it’s a joy to sell at markets.
What do you envision for the future of your business? Do you have any goals?
I’d love to have a website/shop at some point and a formal portfolio. I’d also love to take some commissions, though the idea scares me. I hope to do a project on masculinity and present it as a mixture of writing and illustration.
What other businesses inspire you? Would you be interested in collaborating with any businesses in particular?
I love @drawingwithazi’s lino prints: her textures are so lovely and crispy and her confidence in me has helped a lot. I really like the way my friend @shannonlouart mixes her beautiful photography and art on her feed and I love seeing all the projects she gets involved in. I’d love to make some posters or similar for some local venues or shops or bands.
Azalea (@DRAWINGWITHAZI)
Overview of business:
I’m an illustration student based across Cumbria/York. My main mediums are fine liner, lino printing and watercolour painting and I love to work large scale as well as creating more affordable and transportable, smaller products! I sell zines, prints, stickers and temporary tattoos but I’m always looking to create and share more. I’ve been attempting to run a business for quite a few years now but I’d say it’s started to become a reality over the last 2-3 years, moving to a city with more opportunities and art fairs. Leaving school’s allowed me to focus more on my art too.
I was inspired to open the business because art is what I want to do in the future as a career. I love sharing ideas and creating things that people can enjoy from the street or from their pocket! My target audience is whoever my art calls to but I prefer to work with other small businesses or charities for collaborations.
In a world where everything digital, including art, can feel like it’s taking over, my art remains mainly traditional, with a personal, handmade touch.
What is your design process from start to finish?
Sometimes ideas/concepts just appear and I have to seek out some references and steps to make it happen. Other times they develop from a rough sketch (often observational) or an early
idea from another project that didn’t end up working out in that context.
The process takes a few weeks depending on the project. Inspiration comes from whatever I find interesting but for now it is very guided by observation sketches and what I produce in class and want to continue or explore further. Molly Rae came in to speak to my college and advised us to look at the world around us, so I try to do that.
What are the challenges of running a small business on a day-to-day basis and overall?
One of the hardest things is getting your name out there so people know you and your practice exists. From a practical point of view, I really struggle with knowing how to price things. You want to make your products affordable but you have to value the work you’ve put into it as well as material costs. On a day-to-day basis, it’s down to finding the time to create and refine work.
How do you balance creativity with the technical and administrative responsibilities of running a business?
I try to let creativity lead. This isn’t my main source of income currently so I’m able to create when the time feels right but I’m not sure if it will become harder to have this balance in the future if it becomes my main source of income and I have to chase where the money is more…
What do you envision for the future of your business? Do you have any goals?
I would love to have some polished work in a nice little shop that sells nice little things somewhere. There’s a few artists I’ve noticed who work in art shops in Brighton, York and Scotland so that would be amazing. I’d also love to have an online shop that people actually see and it would be cool to branch out into personalised commission work. I’m planning on going freelance in general so this will hopefully be a business that keeps ticking alongside other projects.
What other businesses inspire you? Would you be interested in collaborating with any businesses in particular?
I’m open to collaborations with anyone! There’s so many amazing businesses in York and I’m inspired by the lovely people I meet at things like Drawvik and York Creatives. My friend @tamar_tiger_art is also an amazing inspiration as well as @tiaceart. I’ve shared tables at craft fairs with both of them.
Lily Windsor Walker (@lilywindsorwalker)
Overview of business:
I am a freelance surface pattern designer and illustrator based in Manchester, I produce bespoke designs for clients and sell my work online and at markets. I sell my work on art prints, greetings cards, recycled wrapping paper, bookmarks and hand made scrunchies. I’ve been running my business for about 5/4 years. I started selling my work to people at uni and then I started to do art markets and it kind of developed more into a business after uni. I've always wanted to work for myself and that was my drive to start my business. My target audience is quite a range of people really!
What is your design process from start to finish?
I usually start a design by looking through art books or Pinterest for inspiration. I then hand paint the motifs or use hand cut outs to create illustrations, I then scan these into my computer to create myself a repeat pattern or illustration design on photoshop. A design can usually take 1/2 days.
What are the challenges of running a small business on a day-to-day basis and overall?
It can be really difficult as you don’t get a steady income, so I use lots of other ways to make money from my art. I’m also a freelance designer for brands
How do you balance creativity with the technical and administrative responsibilities of running a business?
I usually just take a day out now and then to do admin / technical stuff! I probably should take more time to do it!
What do you envision for the future of your business? Do you have any goals?
I’d love to create more products with my designs on, such as notebooks and tote bags. I’d love to create more designs too and one day have a stall at a greetings card event.
PITCH22 (@pitch22recordsbooksart)
Overview of business:
I began as a bookseller in 2002 and added records and art in 2012. I like being surrounded by them all so having a shop seemed like a good idea. Pitch 22 opened on Fishergate in 2018, selling a mixture of books, records and art. We have held a few small exhibitions with local artists. We also sell old postcards and other paper ephemera. Although most of the music in the shop is on vinyl, we also have a selection of CDs and cassettes.
We don’t really have a target audience – we just fill the shop with things we think are interesting. Having said that, we do have more art books than other subjects. As well as general academic and antiquarian titles, we also have plenty of popular culture, including annuals, graphic novels, and many 50s/60s sci-fi novels, which are often as interesting for the cover art as the content. We try to stock as many genres and eras of music as possible, including various types of rock, soul, jazz reggae, pop, electronic, hip hop, soundtracks, folk and classical.
Where do you collect the books, records and art from? How long does this process take?
Pitch 22 is a small shop which means we can constantly change what is in it. Acquiring stock is a mixture of looking out for things in various places and people asking me to buy things from them.
Do you feel that the increasing popularity of online shopping, audiobooks and online music streaming platforms has impacted your business?
Online shopping and music streaming have been around a while and obviously have an effect on how people buy. The number of bookshops and record shops had been in decline for a number of years, although interest in vinyl has recently seen an upsurge in record shops. I would say that in the last five years, more secondhand bookshops have been closing and more record shops have been opening. We just focus on trying to make the shop appealing to anyone who collects books, records and art and enjoys the experience of being in a shop. We have a record player in the shop and check the sound quality of most of the records before selling them, although I can’t say that I’ve read most of the books . . .
Do you have any upcoming events?
Yes!
19th January - The Crescent Record Fair at The Crescent Community Venue from 11am-3pm. This is a small fair with about 8 stallholders with a wide range of vinyl records.
30th January - Norman Rea Gallery Pop-Up market at University of York.
YORK SWIRLING SOAPERY (@yorkswirlingsoapery)
Overview of business:
My name is John and I'm crazy about soap! I work in healthcare during the week, and sell soap on the weekends. I make cold process soap, as well as salt soaps, shaving creams, beard oils, body butters, bath bombs, shampoo and conditioner bars.
I have been in business about 3 years, starting in 2021(ish). After making various types of soaps as a hobby, I went on a soap making course in January 2020 with an idea to possibly go on to making a business in a few years time to help phase myself out of healthcare. Who knew just a few months later all of the UK would be in lockdown and although the Practice I worked in stayed open, the reduction in capacity led to a couple of staff being furloughed for a couple of months, with me being one of them as I had gone into isolation after my partner became unwell.
My target audience is something I'm still figuring out to be honest. I guess mostly tourists and locals who would notice the York themes in my business. I differentiate mostly on theming my products around York and its surrounding areas, its history but also from mythology and folklore, which I also love.
What is your process for making the soap from start to finish?
Soaps are made from fat and sodium hydroxide (also known as lye). I use a selection of plant based oils and butters like Olive and Coconut oil and this is brought to the right temperature and mixed with the lye solution of distilled water and the Sodium Hydroxide. This is then carefully blended together until they emulsify and thicken. You can then split this "batter" into different jugs with colours etc and used to create designs. Depending on the design you are looking for you will need to control how thick the mixture is, which can be quite challenging! The mixture once placed in moulds is covered for 24-48 hours before it can be un-moulded and cut. The bars then need to "cure" by losing their water weight and harden up which takes about 4-6 weeks before it can be sold.
Inspiration is York and its surrounding areas, its history but also from mythology and folklore. My Salt Bar "Barbican" for example is a charcoal ombre design inspired by the Walls or my Merchant Hall soap with more of a herbal theme to tie into the history of the Merchant Hall as a Almshouse at one time. I also have a soap based on the Old English Manor House tea room and rose garden. I'm currently designing soaps to match several landmarks so watch this space!
What are the challenges of running a small business on a day-to-day basis and overall?
Well, I work during the week and so my free time is spent making and selling at craft fairs. It's quite easy to overwork and not give myself any time to just chill. Other challenges include hearing about and finding spaces to sell my products. I rarely hear of things in York and so I'm often travelling around different craft fairs in Yorkshire. Cost has been a huge challenge over the last few years. The Price of Olive oil, for example, has more than doubled - and it's not just olive oil affected. These costs have eroded any profit I'm making per bar but dare not increase my prices as people still don't easily see value in handmade soap (or many hand made products). I still hear "well I can buy soap from supermarkets for a pound", which is very frustrating when I clearly don't have a supermarket's buying power and, unlike a supermarket, I'm actually spending my evenings making these products by hand. Then there's finding time to do social media and responding to emails etc. It's a juggle.
Another cost is the legal side - you must have cosmetic safety assessments in place for all the products you sell in the UK, and these are fixed which means once the recipe is decided on, there's no changing without further costs. I'm pro regulation but this can be very restrictive and can impinge on creativity.
Also Brexit (although I hate to bring it up) has frustrated sales. I find myself occasionally having to cancel online orders placed from Europe as now we have left the EU, I cannot sell there as I'm not a resident of an EU country. Interestingly I can't even sell to Northern Ireland!
What do you envision for the future of your business? Do you have any goals?
With the market how it is, it's really hard to predict the future of the business. I just hope to still be here next Christmas.
I'm working on new soap designs and hope to release those next year. It would be nice for the business to hit a steady pace and allow me to have some more flexibility in my life (which is why I started the business in the first place).
What other businesses inspire you? Would you be interested in collaborating with any businesses in particular?
I'm always inspired, I get all sorts of ideas all the time and try to think about ways to make it work with soap, but no specific other businesses that I can think of. I love the Historical and fantastical so Museums, Minsters, Ghost tours, folklore and architecture mainly.
Stay tuned to visit the gallery once again for our next pop up market on Thursday 30th January from 12:00pm until 4:00pm where we’ll be welcoming back some old friends as well as some brand new faces!
