The Farmer’s Winter Fair

Solve all your gift giving worries in one go, and while you’re about it make sure to treat yourself to a few things too.

There’ll be a plethora of local makers and producers selling food and drink, fresh produce, crafts, bric-a-brac and everything in between, as well as drop-in making sessions in our workshops to help you create hand-crafted gifts. The inn will be beautifully decorated to bring in the festive spirit, and you’ll be able to enjoy topnotch tea and coffee and home baking in the Café. In The Stable Bar we’ll be serving a special winter menu by the roaring log fire.
