Cheaper than a coffee: Winter Market and Wellbeing offers festive fun while supporting local businesses
The countdown to Christmas has begun, and there’s no better place to kick-start the festive season than the Winter Craft Market at the South of England Showground on Saturday 29th November.
Packed with handmade treasures, artisan gifts, and delicious festive treats, this one-day market is the perfect chance to shop small, shop local, and find something truly unique. Shoppers will also discover a dedicated Wellbeing and Self-Care section — from aromatherapy and crystals to massage and mindfulness — offering a little calm before the Christmas chaos.
And the best part? Tickets cost less than a cup of coffee — but every ticket sold helps support local crafters, makers, artisans, and small businesses right here in the community.
Event organiser BE Events said:
“The Winter Craft Market isn’t just about shopping; it’s about celebrating creativity, community, and connection. Every stallholder is a small business with a big passion, and every visitor helps keep that alive.”
This year, BE Events is also calling for local sponsors to come on board and support the event. Sponsorship will help ensure that events like the Winter Craft Market continue to thrive, giving a platform to talented local makers and helping the community shop more sustainably and meaningfully.
