All around the site and in the glasshouses will be stalls from craftspeople, makers, and artisan food producers. There will be Christmas trees and potted indoor plants, plus festive food and hot mulled drinks available throughout the day. Entry is £5 per person and children, 16 and under, go free.
Stallholders have been carefully curated; we will always champion the artisan and the small-scale with a focus on combining functionality with beauty. 

In our shop are gifts for all, including beautiful hand made felt and paper decorations, hand crafted leather goods and knitwear, useful gifts for gardeners, as well as plenty of inspiring books. While the Water Lane Pantry is fully stocked with seasonal jams, chutneys, preserves, chocolates, mince pies and Christmas Puddings to take home for the festive table.
