Sunshine-yellow daffodils are in full bloom which means that the milder weather is on its way! It also signifies the coming of Easter and as such, our annual Easter Craft Fair which takes place in our beautiful Grade-I listed building 10.30am – 4pm on Saturday, 15th April and is completely free to attend.
This year’s Easter Craft Fair comprises over 20 stalls offering a range of beautiful handmade crafts and gifts from the local area and beyond. Stalls include Scribbelicious, Christi’s Stitches, My Moroccan Folly, Snowdon Angoras, Redberry Designs, The House of Marley and many more!
There will also be a pop-up bookstall stocking reads for adults and young people as well as a selection of tasty homecooked meals and treats in our Food for Thought café.
For families, we will be running a Children’s Easter Quiz for older children and a colouring competition for the little ones. Both include tasty prizes just for taking part, and there will be an end-of-day prize draw in which an overall winner will be picked from all completed entries.
If you’re looking for something fun and free to do this is a great day out for all the family!
