Market House Craftworks

Tomorrow is our last day in business - it's been a strange and "interesting" time to try to run a business - signing a three year lease on 1st March 2020 wasn't exactly great timing! Thank you to all of those who supported us and specially to the nearly 150 artists and craftspeople who trusted us to exhibit their work in our 20 exhibitions.

Due to appalling road conditions and our inability to get out of our driveways we will be remaining CLOSED today Saturday 17th December. We will re-open on Wed 21st at 11am and will close permanently at 5pm on Friday 23rd December.

Sorry for any inconvenience - but as we can't get there, probably no-one else can either!

Our last opening turned out to be a lovely evening! A really great turn out.

Great to have some enthusiastic helpers with our Christmas decorating - we have 3
