Dutch Barn Artisan Markets

Happy New Year to all my friends and family.

I hope 2024 is kind to you all 🍾

Thankyou all for the kind donations - a few bags of bits were dropped off a women’s refuge service yesterday after what started out with me wondering what to do with the unclaimed raffle prizes!

Your generosity is much appreciated!

It’s been brought to our attention that a Shania Mckenzie has been approaching people claiming to work for us and asking people for money.

All of our payments are taken via secure digital methods and we will never ask for a bank transfer.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery….

Fancy a stall at one of our markets in 2024? If you’re free today, why not pop down and have a look how we roll at our Winter Artisan OPEN NOW. Address in the poster….

Look at this grill! Valley Coffee have pulled out all the stops for us! Bratwurst sizzling on the BBQ and a hot festive drink bubbling away!

We are open! Get down to Valley Conferencing for all your Xmas crafty needs ⛄️ ❄️ 🎄

We are open!

We are NOT cancelling the outdoor area, provided that vendors have professional gazebos and suitable anchors/weights then you are welcome to still attend if you have confidence in your equipment, experience of this weather and public liability insurance.

I’ve done markets in this before and professional gazebos were fine but garden ones didn’t stand a chance.

Our whopping 30 Indoor stalls will remain unaffected :)

Just a few pics from our latest event Holland House Winter Market 2023 - sponsored by DSG Joinery for Holland House Residents Association.

We were so blessed with the weather, crisp, chilly, sunny & dry!

A couple of weeks break and then looking forward to our next event Christmas Artisan Market 2023 - Valley Church Bamber Bridge - PR5 6GS on 9th Dec.

🎉 With just 2 weeks to go until our flagship Winter Artisan Market at Valley Conference Centre (AKA Valley Church/Valley Coffee) in Bamber Bridge, we are now finalising the last of the stalls, the marketing materials have landed, and we're hoping for good weather! ☀️

Please take a look at the pictures on this post to get an idea of what wonderful local businesses and Artisans we are hosting on the day. Everybody is really looking forward to meeting you, the customers, with a warm welcome. 👋

This will be a great opportunity to grab some Festive gifts 🎁 and support the backbone of our community, the local businesses that really appreciate all of you when you turn up on the day, rather than turning to the likes of Amazon or the big retail parks. 💪

Have a browse, grab a coffee ☕ and a bite from Valley Coffee, and enjoy what we have to offer.

With only 4 weeks to go until our event, we have had some pitches become available!

We currently have 7 outdoor pitches and 2 indoor pitches now waiting for their new vendors to lovingly adopt them and setup a stall on the day.

If you would like to hold a stall at our Christmas Artisan, please drop us a message via Facebook or drop us a an email to the address in the poster below.

We do try to avoid duplication so have a look through the vendors we have lined up and if you feel you can provide something unique and different, we’d love to hear from you.

We really would like to host some artisan food vendors such as pickles, chutneys, bread, olives, cheeses etc.

Put this in your calendar 🗓️

Together with we are hosting a Christmas market on
