The Food and Craft Markets added colour, flavour and a vibrant atmosphere to the 2026 Uplands Founders & Friends Weekend. Throughout Saturday and Sunday, visitors enjoyed strolling through a diverse collection of stalls, creating a lively hub of activity at the heart of the celebrations.
The Food Market offered something for every taste, with a delicious variety of meals, snacks, sweet treats and refreshments available throughout the weekend. Whether visitors were grabbing a quick bite between activities, enjoying a leisurely meal with friends or indulging in something sweet, the food market provided a welcoming space for people to gather, relax and enjoy the festive vibe.
The Craft Market showcased the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of local artisans and small businesses. Visitors browsed a wide range of handmade products, unique gifts, artwork, clothing, décor items and speciality products, with many taking the opportunity to support local makers while finding something special to take home.
These markets created more than just a shopping experience. They provided a place for conversations, connections and community, bringing together visitors of all ages throughout the weekend. Families gathered between events, alumni reconnected with old friends, and guests enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere that has become a hallmark of the Founders & Friends Weekend.
A heartfelt thank you goes to all the stallholders whose enthusiasm, creativity and hard work helped make the markets such a success. Their contribution added greatly to the warmth and vibrancy of the weekend and helped create an experience that was enjoyed by all.
