Art in the Pen — Skipton's Beloved Art & Craft Fair Turns 20!
Art in the Pen is one of the North of England's most celebrated art and craft fairs, held each year at the iconic Skipton Auction Mart in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.
What started in 2005 as a handful of artists transforming cattle pens into makeshift galleries has grown into something truly special. Over two decades, Art in the Pen has become the destination art event of the North, a place where original artwork, exceptional craft, and genuine human connection come together in one unforgettable setting.
The magic of Art in the Pen lies in its atmosphere. There's nothing quite like wandering through stalls where the artists themselves are right there beside their work, ready to share their story, their process, and their passion. Whether you're a seasoned collector or picking up your very first piece of original art, you'll find the experience as warm and welcoming as the work on the walls.
From painters and printmakers to sculptors, jewellers, and textile artists, every corner of the Auction Mart fills with creativity and craftsmanship. Visitors come back year after year and it's easy to see why.
2026 marks Art in the Pen's 20th birthday, and it promises to be the most memorable event yet. Come and be part of it.
