Warkworth

a Trent Hills Community

A Designated Art Community, waiting to inspire you.

Warkworth is a Designated Arts Community, and it shows. This village blends farming roots with genuine creative energy. Check out the Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts or the Ah! Arts and Heritage Centre, browse glass and clay work at Frantic Farms or check out the current work on display at K Okay Café. Pop into friendly Main Street shops for everything from kitchen décor to art supplies, spiritual supplies, clothing and vintage finds. Fancy a workshop? Try blacksmithing at Morlock Blacksmith or talk to the team at Centre & Main Chocolate to experience how chocolate is made, or buy one of their deliciously local varieties. Add in a Friday-evening summer market, a packed calendar of festivals from maple syrup to lilacs, and whimsical architectural details around every corner, and it’s easy to see why people keep coming back to this small town with big-time charm.
