Christmas Markets at Taurus Crafts

Two Christmas markets, the region’s best crafts, a working pottery, organic produce and local Norway Spruce Christmas trees will all be found at Taurus Crafts this month.

Always a popular destination over the festive period, there will be even more reason to pay a visit to Taurus Crafts this December, as the popular Lydney attraction is the setting for not one but two weekend Christmas Markets.

Welcoming shoppers on both Saturday 3 and Sunday 4, as well as Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 December 2011, the Christmas Markets will provide plenty of seasonal inspiration, handmade items, gifts, crafts, toys, food, decorations and more. Plus, there will be additional activities and carols on some days – so phone ahead to check with organisers.

Right throughout the festive period visitors will also find beautiful handmade ceramics at the working pottery – and visitors can even throw and paint their own pot.

There’s a selection of the region’s best design-led gifts, as well as Fair Trade products, in the gift shop, while on-site craft units feature handmade soap, chocolate, picture framing, stained glass, jewellery, original art, textiles, knitting, vintage clothing, a stonemason, leatherworker, felt maker and Garden Retreat health and beauty room from which to enjoy therapies and treatments.

Plus, La Bodega offers organic and local deli food and wine, there’s the whole food cafe using many ingredients from Taurus Crafts’ own garden, as well as a selection of Norway Spruce Christmas trees which are amazingly grown under a mile away.
