Barnstaple Craft Market will be celebrating its
first year in business with a Christmas special on Sunday 13 December –
perfect timing for shoppers looking for a unique and handmade gift.
The monthly craft market has now been running since
June to compliment the Real Food Market in the Pannier Market. As
usual all the crafts on show will be
handmade in North Devon, it’s a showcase for the best of local makers in a truly unique setting.
Established by Barnstaple Town Council, local craft
event organiser Jo Isaac now runs the show, “I’ve really enjoyed
managing the monthly Craft Markets in the Guildhall, it’s is a fantastic
space right above the pannier market that few
people get the chance to visit. The craft community has been very
supportive of the markets in their first year, each month brings new
sellers and customers. The Christmas Market will be a fantastic end to
our first year.”
Crafts on sale will range from prints and pictures, textiles and jewellery, illustration, glass and natural bath products. There
will be a free raffle for
visitors to the market with a wonderful hamper of handmade gifts to
win, just visit the main chamber of the Guildhall to collect your free
ticket. The winning ticket will be drawn at 3pm by Father Christmas!
The next market is on Sunday
13 December 10.30am – 3.30pm in Barnstaple Guildhall which can be accessed from Butcher Row or the door inside the Pannier Market.
