Tips & Advice
- Arrive early to explore the full range of over 50 local stalls before they get too busy, especially if you're looking for specific handmade gifts.
- Check the weather forecast and dress in layers, as parts of the fair may be outdoors, and the historic hall can be cooler in November.
- Bring cash for smaller vendors, as not all stallholders may accept card payments, ensuring you don't miss out on any unique finds.
- Take advantage of the free entry and consider visiting both days to fully experience the market and enjoy the different offerings.
- Plan your visit around lunchtime to enjoy the highly recommended 'best turkey butties for miles' and other festive treats from the food vendors.
