STAMP is free and open to the public.

STAMP Festival is delighted to be working with the Triskel Arts Centre for 2024, offering event highlights such as a market, talks on running a creative business, craft and design demos, artist-led workshops showcasing the works of local artists, designers and craftspeople, all taking place at the beautiful Triskel Arts Centre.

Visitors are invited to try hands-on workshops including screen printing, lamp shade making, pottery wheel throwing, and spoon carving.
