ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

The Jewellery Quarter Festival, taking place on the 28th – 30th July 2017, is a three-day celebration of our vibrant, creative, quirky corner of the city.
The Quarter is home to over 100 independent Jewellery retailers, more than 50 independent bars, restaurants and cafes and a host of other retailers and attractions. Last year, the festival attracted over 18,000 visits.

Building on the success of previous years, we have over 50 workshops and studios opening their doors as part of our free Open Studios Trail. Live music, entertainment and activities will take place on Golden Square (Warstone Lane) and St Paul’s Square.

You can visit the dedicated festival page here or join the event on Facebook.
