Yuletide Christmas Market
14-15 December, 10am - 4pm
After a long wait, we’re decking the halls, prepping the stalls and bringing back this much-loved family favourite. Back by popular demand, local traders return to the Stableyard for a weekend of festive fun.
Get in the Christmas spirit with us as you browse the stalls in search of those special gifts, take in the smells of the season and hear the sounds of choirs floating through the garden.
While you’re here, look out for Santa! He may just be out for a walk around the garden and we’re sure he’ll be happy to meet you!
Deck out your Gingerbread Man
1 December, 11am - 12pm & 1pm - 2pm
Your little elves can use their awesome decorating skills to design and decorate their scrumptious gingerbread man.
Other activities to look out for this winter.
