Organisers of the Holker Winter Market in Cark-in-Cartmel, Cumbria have added an extra day to the normally two day event, meaning visitors have even more opportunity to start their Christmas shopping early!
The market will start on Friday 2nd November at 10.30am to 4.00pm and run through to Sunday 4th November with a record number of businesses already confirmed to exhibit. Opening times on the Saturday and Sunday will also be earlier too – from 10am, to allow for those early birds to make the most of the day!
Friday visitors will also benefit from free admission to the Holker Gardens included in a Winter Market ticket!
Set in the atmospheric Holker Courtyard, browse over 100 stalls of local and regional food, drink, craft and homewares for the winter season – a perfect Christmas shopping opportunity. A delicious variety of food will be on offer from the likes of Cartmel Cheeses, Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding, Country Fare and Susan’s Farmhouse Fudge! A fine selection of gifts and homewares from Ellis & Eliza, Fassi Mare and Bespoke Aroma to name a few plus, for a warming tipple there will be a wonderful selection of drinks and local ales available, including those from Kin Toffee Vodka and Unsworth’s Yard Brewary.
Live entertainment will run throughout the event with Pete Moss the Gardener, Andy Jester stilt walking and Palladium Jazz Trio providing the music.
