36 Lime Street, the original Ouseburn artists’ studios and workshops, hosts a diverse, creative and sociable art and design weekend.
Explore the wealth of talent over five floors of our beautiful listed building.
See how work is produced and chat with the artists about their processes and materials: art, design, jewellery, glass, furniture, architecture, music, printmaking, painting, pottery, textiles and more.
Buy direct! You can commission items as well as buy “off the wall”.
Most makers take debit/credit cards (but best to arm yourselves with some cash!).
Prize-winning raffle where each ticket is a limited edition print! Fantastic prizes for 2025 include a cosy night at Lockhaugh Farm 5* self-catering accommodation in the Derwent Valley, Ouseburn Trust tour, Seven Stories books, food and drinks vouchers from Ouseburn neighbours including The Ship, Deep North and Northern Rye, and last but not least our fantastic resident artists’ donations of their beautiful work.
