The inaugural Bottle Alley Art Market was held on August Bank Holiday Saturday 2023.
8,000 people walked the 480m of alley over the 8 hour duration of the market. Over 800 artworks were sold by the 60 artists, selected from the 110 who applied to take part. The feedback has been overwhelming positive and there is an appetite for more to come.

” So happy this was such a great success, congratulations to all involved! I had a wonderful time and really really pleased with the sales and such lovely people came by my stall. Some brilliant chats and fantastic artwork on show when I did go for my toilet breaks. Really appreciate the swift accounting of my sales. Huge thanks to all the team for making it such a great day, couldn’t have wanted for more really.”
Artist: Pete Fowler
“THANK YOU !!!!!
I was blown away with the whole day……. It was a STELLAR EVENT
Your planning was excellent: – pitches were generous for a stall and felt good – good width for (so many!) people walking through the alley – ingeniously thoughtful rope dividers / hanging systems – well designed sales process (though I forgot to ask for the receipt from most peeps! but I made a list) and having several sale points was good – good plans for dropping off work – perfect weather!!”
Artist: Sinéid Codd
