West Acre Gallery is holding its annual Christmas art fair in November

With a “stunning” historic backdrop and one-of-a-kind handmade offerings, an annual festive art fair is making its return.

West Acre Gallery’s annual art fair is back for its fifth year on the weekend of November 25 and 26, from 11am until 4pm.

The event has become a fond family tradition, making it the perfect place to support independent businesses, and this year the event is expanding.

Expect the usual ‘meet the maker’ shopping with a range of affordable quality visual art, cards, and handmade gifts, including paintings, prints, illustrations, homeware, textiles, weaving, jewellery, and ceramics.

The Boston Travelling Tea Party will be parked up outside the gallery, serving home-baked goods and beverages from their horse box café.

Across the yard, you’ll find several neighbouring art studios offering creative workshops all weekend.

You can make your own Christmas tree fairy using natural materials with the Fairyland Trust. They’ll have drop-in sessions for over 3s in their new festive workshop.

Visitors can also make a mosaic tree decoration in The Green Room with Carolyn Ash, or join artist Rosy Prue in The Prop Store for drop-in creative activities for all ages, and a range of prints, cards, and gifts will be up for sale.

The nearby brewery and theatre will also open up for the festivities, and a certain someone will be making an appearance...

This could be a chance to soak up the jolly atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the high street while supporting independent businesses this Christmas.

It’s a fully immersive experience in a magical festive setting.

Entry for this event is free.
