Heritage Sites Champion Artisan Producers
Two historic venues in the region are championing local, independent traders with food and gift events this month.
Jordans Mill hosts the fi rst of this year’s outdoor Craft & Food Fayre on Saturday 5 March. With a fantastic range of stalls including sweet treats, handmade items, locally made foods and more, there will be plenty to browse. Partnering with ‘Love Local Craft & Food Fayre’, the fairs are set to take place in the front car park and throughout the grounds of Jordans Mill on the fi rst Saturday of each month.
The weekend of 26-27 March sees Shuttleworth House host a Spring Food, Craft and Gift Market with an abundance of artisan products from local food growers and handmade gifts and crafts. Trade stall will be positioned around the grand rooms of Shuttleworth House so visitors can enjoy the stunning interiors as they shop. Entry is free, however, donations to the Shuttleworth Trust are appreciated. Visitors are welcome to wander around the world-famous collection of aircraft or enjoy a walk around the beautiful nine-acre Swiss Garden. A small refreshments station will be open at Shuttleworth House or guests can dine at the Runway Café by the Shuttleworth Collection Hangars.
