With so many Christmas markets at this time of year, it can all be a bit overwhelming – stall after stall of lovely handcrafted things that you often come away full of cheap mince pies and realise you haven’t actually bought anything. Sound familiar?
So we’ve done the hard work for you and invited a few of our favourite artists and makers to set up at the bakery each Saturday in December. Each week will have a different small group of carefully selected independent traders. Handmade, thoughtful and special gifts that will be perfect for the impossible to buy for, the person who has everything or maybe just for yourself.
The event will run each Saturday in December from 9am – 2pm.
