Locally sourced produce and handmade gifts

Discover unique gifts for your loved ones at a Christmas market near you. Find locally handmade ornaments, crafts, jewellery and even a Christmas cake or two. Browse artisan gifts at Petworth in Sussex, including handmade homewares, textiles and art for that special someone. Visit Tatton Park in Cheshire to shop for gifts you won’t find on the high street while you explore the Tenants Hall, which is not usually open to the public. For something a bit different, craft fairs are being held at places such as Avebury in Wiltshire, Dinefwr Park in Carmarthenshire and Flatford in Suffolk, where you can warm up with a mince pie and mulled wine.
