WE BELIEVE
IN MAKING
THINGS
HAPPEN.
A home for independent minds, brilliant ideas and people who'd rather make something than follow the crowd.
Part creative hub. Part permanent makers' market. Completely independent. We're bringing together artists, makers and small businesses under one roof in the heart of Saltburn.
PROUDLY INDEPENDENT.
IT STARTED
WITH AN
IDEA.
What if independent creatives had somewhere to make, sell and grow — together?
Creation was founded by Laura Bowles in late 2023, with a simple ambition: to make it easier for independent artists, makers and small businesses to do what they love.
A space where creativity could flourish, without the expense and hassle of running your own high-street shop.
In March 2024, our creative studios opened their doors. The Emporium followed at Easter, bringing an extraordinary mix of independent businesses together under one roof.
And from that first idea, something much bigger has grown: a proper creative community.
INDEPENDENT
BY NATURE.
No big chains. No cookie-cutter collections. Just 90+ independent businesses doing their own thing — and doing it brilliantly.
GOOD IDEAS
NEED SPACE.
There's a whole lot of making going on behind the scenes.
Creation isn't just about the things on
our shelves. We're also home to eight
creative studios, giving artists and
makers somewhere to work, experiment,
collaborate and bring their ideas to life.
It's this mix of making, sharing and
supporting one another that makes
Creation what it is.
STUDIOS
SELLERS
COME AS
YOU ARE.
LEAVE
INSPIRED.
Curious browsers, serious shoppers, creative minds and four-legged friends. There's always something worth discovering.
