Meanwhile, from noon until 2pm at the Hope United Reform Church on Chapel Street, there's a Ceramics drop-in event hosted by Chapel Street Community Arts, where you can see potters Yasmin Stephens and Amber Sanchez at work and have a go at throwing some clay for £1.
On Saturday 5th May, The Modernist Shop on Chapel Street will be open, selling a range of prints, artworks, magazines, posters, designed objects, photographs, illustrations and books, while at 1pm The Kings Arms hosts a Smiths 30th Anniversary talk by Ed Glinert (£3)
The Sights fest takes a break on Sunday, before two arts fairs happen on the Monday – the Kings Arms May Fair, with food, drink, craft stalls and entertainment (1-4pm free) and the The Wayzgoose Print Fair at the Casket Works on Cow Lane (11am-6pm free) featuring a range of unique prints and printed goods from artists at Hot Bed Press.
