"This year’s lineup is a big step up for Handmade and an important one for us to take," says co-organiser John Helps. "We want this year’s festival to challenge people’s expectations of what Handmade can be and what we can do with a 'DIY' city festival. We hope people are just as excited about it as we are."

Handmade Festival 2018 takes place 5-6 May at O2 Academy Leicester, the University Of Leicester's Student Union, and the Attenborough Arts Centre. Tickets are on sale now.
