Essenwood Craft Market? Essenwood park: Every Sat: 9am - 2pm


There will be a special Christmas market on 20 December. There will be a super-sized kiddies corner.. and pony rides, and one can shop at leisure with some gentle festive music as background... and of course Santa will be visiting!

Essenwood Craft Market - one of the region's pioneer arts, craft, fashion, gifts, food and collectables markets - is gearing itself up for the festive season by offering visitors a comprehensive selection of festive gift ideas and a cosy place to enjoy a leisurely Saturday morning al-fresco brunch. "We want to ensure that the market's focus is firmly family-friendly," considers the market's Cyan Brown, "We are situated in a park environment with a functioning play area which is perfect for children to run around. To complement this, we have free pony rides, and feature weekly child-focused activities - be it fire-engine rides; fair-ground attractions; face-painting and children's games," she said.

The stalls will be gearing-up to cater for non-commercial, affordable, gift options: books; music; jewellery; decor items; clothing; accessories; plants; fresh flowers; health and beauty products; edible treats; original artwork; crafted goods and children's wear and accessories. The market offers more than a hundred different specialist stalls. Also there are stalls which are specialising in festive themed goods: table decor, tree decorations; serviettes, runners and table cloths; candles; stockings and stocking fillers.
