It’s going to be a great opportunity for people to come and discover some truly unique gifts by local creatives whilst soaking up the festive atmosphere. There are so many talented makers here in Chichester and we really wanted to bring everyone together in one place to give visitors the chance to discover, browse and shop for one-of-a-kind gifts. And what better setting than Draper’s Yard – a real hub of local creativity and talent in the city.”
