Sat 16May2026

Free entertainment supported by a grant from Nailsworth Town Council

From 10.00 am until mid-afternoon

There’s free entertainment, for all the family, in Mortimer Gardens, supported by a grant from Nailsworth Town Council. The Nailsworth Festival Market is back in the bus station, from 10am to 3pm, lovingly supported by The Grace Network and bursting with the brilliant local traders you know and love. Around the corner, Love Nailsworth is pleased to bring the Artisan Market to Market Street for the Festival. There will be handmade children’s clothes, jewellery, cakes, candles, coffee beans, skin care and other delights. Duck Races will be taking place in the brook, courtesy of Nailsworth PTFA, and look out for the Family Sports Fest, in the afternoon.
