Between October 31st and November 9th 2024, local artists and makers from Made in Ross will hide over 100 unique pieces of art and craft around Ross-on-Wye as gifts for those who discover them. When you find it, you can choose to keep it, gift it to someone deserving or simply leave it for someone else to find. All we ask is that you let us know you have found it by emailing us at [email protected] and posting a picture of it on social media using the hashtag #MadeinRoss

Our Great Art Giveaway is part of Ross-on-Wye’s celebrations honouring philanthropist John Kyrle (as 2024 marks the 300th anniversary of his death) and the restoration of the iconic Market House.
Each gift will come with a short history of the Market House, where Made in Ross is based. This exciting initiative offers a creative way for the community to engage with the town’s heritage while enjoying the artistic flair that makes Ross-on-Wye so special.
The hidden art will be placed in new locations each day, leading up to the grand Civic Opening of the newly restored Market House on the 9th of November. This project is a meaningful gesture from our artists and makers, continuing the tradition of giving back to the community, a legacy that began with John Kyrle, Ross-on-Wye’s most celebrated benefactor.

MiR are very grateful for the continued support by Ross on Wye Town Council and The Courtyard in Hereford. The Courtyard provide a space for innovation, creativity, and participation for the whole community. As a registered charity they do much for our community. Without the help from The Courtyard MiR wouldn’t be the thriving group it is today.
We are aware of how hard Ross on Wye Town Council have been working incredibly hard this year trying to make Ross on Wye look the best and be it can, and there have been some challenges!! Soon we will see the newly restored Market House and the Legacy Project. Members of the public will be able to see the newly installed panels, which celebrates the building’s central role in the history of Ross on Wye. MiR are very excited to be able to return to the Market House mid-October.
This is part of the Market House Legacy project which has been funded by Ross on Wye Town Council, the National lottery Heritage Fund, The Wolfson Foundation and the Pilgrim Trust
