Each year in November The Riverfront are proud to support Newport’s Art on The Hill Trail.

Art on the Hill is a weekend long festival, that raises awareness of the city’s creative community and their work. This year, the event runs from Friday 24 - Sunday 26 November.

Here is what is taking place at The Riverfront:

 

Friday 24 November

Comedy Shed, 7.45pm

We are starting the weekend with one of our hilariously funny, cabaret-style comedy club performances.

Comedy Shed offers you the chance to enjoy a drink, sit back and relax, with three local, professional comedians ready to entertain you.

We are dedicated to supporting local artists and highlighting the talent within the city’s theatre and art community.

Keep your eyes peeled for more information about who’ll be performing! 

 

Saturday 25 November

Free Makers Market, 12 - 4pm

The market brings together independent artisans, makers, artists and businesses to create a brilliant, local community market. The aim of the market is to support local makers and businesses by promoting their work, increasing awareness and furthering their customer reach.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to be part of the event, shop local and support the community. With a wide selection of stalls, the Makers Market is the perfect day out to have a wonder round and either treat yourself or find the perfect Christmas gifts for loved ones!

The Market will be throughout the downstairs foyer area at The Riverfront.
