The annual Artisan Market at Canterbury Shaker Village is taking place this year on Sept. 12 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This event is a celebration of artisanal, handcrafted work, with live music, and demonstrations. Come admire artisans’ work and find unique gifts or something special for yourself.

The Village is, and has been, taking the situation regarding COVID-19 very seriously, and complying with all state and federal guidelines. This event will be a safe, socially-distanced market, with masks required. Special Village masks, handmade by the Canterbury Sewers, will also be available for purchase. All booths will be spaced ten feet apart, and extra care will be taken to provide all artists and guests a safe and fun experience.
