Festive market in Horncastle set to light up the Christmas shopping season

It’s a festive market at The Stanhope Hall on Boston Road on Sunday, December 8 between 11 am and 4 pm.

The event is set to feature an array of market stalls, Christmas gifts, children’s activities, food, drink and refreshments, and it promises to be a fun day out for the whole family.

It has been organised by the Market Rasen-based entrepreneur Clare Bradford, whose business, Clare B Events, has previously run a successful wedding fair at Stanhope.

Clare says: “I enjoy bringing local business people together to showcase what they have to offer, whether that be through mind, body and spirit events, wedding fairs, book fairs, seasonal gatherings, psychic nights or craft and gift fairs.

"I believe that every special occasion deserves to be unforgettable. My passion lies in curating experiences that resonate with attendees, and my goal is to create an enchanting atmosphere.

"This family-friendly festive market is my next big event, and it will have something for everyone. Other highlights will be face-painting, a sweet stall, a cake stall, bracelet-making and lots of Christmas present ideas. Why not come and celebrate the festive holiday with us?”

Already lined up to have stalls at the event is the Tattershall-based business, Keri’s Sweet Creations, with its sweet treats and cakes for special occasions, and Phil Braybrook with his unique selection of hand-made resin jewellery.

Wicked Wicks – Lincs UK will also be there, offering a wonderful selection of bespoke, scented, hand-crafted candles for Christmas. And you can discover Pickle’s Trinkets, who will be showcasing a delightful selection of hand-made ear-rings, handbags and accessories.

The talented Jayne Wiltowski will offer her hand-made bunting, sweet-tube covers and gift bags, while Sheelagh Maria Wright might tempt you with her personalised crystal-ball readings.
