Eventissima 's Artisan Markets at The Alexander Centre Faversham – A Celebration of Creativity, Community & Craft

7th March - 13th December 2026

Step into the heart of Faversham and discover a vibrant, ever-evolving marketplace where creativity flourishes, community thrives, and every stall tells a story. The Artisan Markets at The Alexander Centre are more than just shopping events- they’re a celebration of independent spirit, handmade excellence, and the joy of discovering something truly special. Eventissima is celebrating 10 years of organising markets in Faversham in 2026.

🛍️ What to Expect as a Visitor

Whether you’re a curious browser, a seasoned collector, or simply looking for a delightful day out, our Artisan Markets offer a feast for the senses:

• Handcrafted Treasures: From hand-thrown ceramics and hand-stitched textiles to original artwork, woodcraft, and jewellery, each stall is curated to showcase the very best of local and regional makers.

  • Botanical Beauty & Natural Wellbeing: Discover handmade soaps, soy candles, essential oil blends, and skincare crafted with care. 
    • Seasonal Surprises: From Spring markets to festive sparkle at Christmas, our markets evolve with the calendar- expect themed décor, seasonal specials, music and fun to add a little extra magic.


    🌿 The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and inclusive. Whether you’re a local or a visitor to Faversham, you’ll be greeted with friendly faces, a sense of community, and the unmistakable buzz of creativity in the air.

    🏛️ The Venue: The Alexander Centre 

    Located in the heart of Faversham’s historic town centre, The Alexander Centre is a beautiful Victorian building with a modern twist. The market takes place in its elegant hall and additional rooms . It’s fully accessible, dog and family-friendly, and just a short stroll from the train station and car parks. There is a fabulous coffee shop on site.
