What a day!! Representing Co Durham at the Houses of Parliament, thanks to Richard Holden MP for hosting and Dehenna Davison and Joanne Howey for putting my name forward. The fudge of course spoke for itself, with cries of ‘the best fudge ever’.

So fudge lovers, this is happening next week…..

On a little jaunt out with Loopy Mam to pick up a Facebook purchase (as you do!) and stumbled across this fabulous shop and the lovely Della. And she does mail order too…
Naturally Della is also a fudge lover 🤭

I’m at Darlington College today for their Christmas Fair, and we’ve already had the excitement of a fire alarm!! Takes me back 😂

Well, after and absolutely stonking weekend at Brancepeth Castle and Ulverston's Dickensian Christmas Festival we are all but wiped out!! Today is all about making Loopy Lisa Advent calendars, they will only be available on the website for the next couple of hours, so there is still time to secure yours for this year!!

This weekend we are at the fabulous Barney Farmers Market and Raby Castle, so a busy week ahead restocking!! Photo is of some very tasty mince pies that Connie made at Baking Club with the lovely Carly at last week

It certainly was a busy day yesterday, record number of visitors would explain the huge dent in fudge stocks!! Let’s do it all again today!!

Meanwhile, Loopy Mam is back at Brancepeth Castle today, but she too had taken a big dent in fudge stocks!! It’s going to be another busy week restocking (that’s code for lots of fudging and very long days!!)

After a record breaking number of visitors yesterday we are doing it all again today!
Stalls will be open around 9am with entertainment starting at 10.30am. Programmes are available around town or at the festival control centre at the bottom of Theatre Street next to the Theatre Royal. All details including a map are here on our website www.dickensianfestival.co.uk
The weather may not be quite as kind as yesterday but we can all still have a fabulous day.

The fudge will definitely be fresh at Brancepeth Castle for their Christmas Fair starting tomorrow!!

Still time to order your fudge advent calendars!! Containing a whopping 1.25kg of fudge, a different flavour every day and plenty to share among the family each day. Order on the website www.loopylisasfudge.co.uk or drop me a message, they are £38, plus postage if needed

Just about sorted myself out folks, so I’ll see you there!!

Join us TODAY 11am- 2pm! ALL WELCOME!

We are looking forward to welcoming everyone to Witton Le Wear Community Centre for our Christmas fair!

We have some amazing independent stalls joining us including:
Beneath The Pines
Durham Soap
Geoff 's Bright Books
Laura-Jayne Bruce
Loopy Lisa's Fudge
Murray Christmas
That Hat
The B's Kitchen
Theresa Pottery
Weardale Cheese

They'll also be a tombola and mulled wine stall.

The kitchen will be serving hot beef sandwiches, hot dogs, a great selection of cakes and sweet treats, and refreshments.

We'll have free colouring crafts for the children and some games -- put the star on the Christmas tree (50p a go), Guess the name of the teddybear (£2 a go), facepainting/glitter tattoos (50p) guess how many sweets in the jar.

We'll also be selling tickets for our Christmas fair raffle! All proceeds go towards the upkeep of Witton Le Wear Community Centre.

Please remember to bring cash, as many stall holders do not have the facility to take card payments.

There is on-street parking to the right of the centre down the bank, or along the top road near to the village green. Please be mindful of residents drives etc.

Please come along and support the event!

It’s today, sadly, due to a set of circumstances I had no control over, we won’t be there today ☹️ I’d made all the arrangements for Bob and Margaret to cover for me, made the fudge, was planning to pull an all-nighter before departing on holiday to get it packed and make some Mugins, only to be thwarted by a power cut!!! It lasted for 10.5 hours and sadly I need power for the commercial scales and label printer!! I’m very sorry to let you down, Loopy Mam will be there in December and if you desperately can’t wait that long, drop me a message and I’ll sort you out. We’re flying back today after a lovely and relaxing week in the sun and tomorrow, once I’ve sorted the fudge out, I’ll be at Witton le Wear Christmas Fair

Fudge advent calendars are live on the website!! Delivery will be the last week in November, however, it would help my organisation massively if you were to order sooner 🤭

Fudge Advent Calendar | Loopy Lisa's Fudge 23 days with a 50g bag of our fabulous crumbly fudge and a 100g bag for day 24!! Each day has a different flavour, if there’s any you don’t like, you’d best put

Fabulously excited to be working with this fellow local business on their Christmas offer

We’re at today and tomorrow for their Seasonal Market, so many flavours, including two new ones!! The event is free entry, but you can also buy tickets to go into the grounds and Castle.

Having a little jaunt out with my darlings….just had to bring them here and show them where Mammy’s wares go to!!

today! You will probably notice that I’m not there….as this is my current view!! Don’t worry though folks, the lovely Bob and Margaret from Barton Farm will be there to satisfy your fudgey needs!

We’re at today for the seasonal market. Simba dog has gone to Teesdale Pet Sitters to see how he likes it there - hopefully better than he liked the stall structure when we set up!! Here again tomorrow, he’d better like it by then!!

Happy Coronation Day!!

Get down early, buy all my fudge, then I can go home to watch 🤭

Hopefully I will have some Coronation themed products available - depends on how recovery from the wisdom tooth removal goes!! Not been good so far 🦷👑👑👑🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Our Coronation Day Barney Farmers Market is Saturday 6th May at Horsemarket, Barnard Castle DL12 8LY. To celebrate the Coronation we will be holding a raffle with prizes of market produce. Tickets will be available from 8.30am and the raffle will be drawn at noon. Many of our traders will be ready for an earlier start at 8.30 this month, and the market will continue until 2pm but we have agreed that traders can leave at 12 on this occasion so we would encourage early visits on Saturday morning.
