ARTISAN MARKET

Harringworth village invites local artisans to set up stalls under one ‘ancient’ roof … 

This November Harringworth, on the Rutland/Northamptonshire border (famously the location of the Harringworth Viaduct), is bringing some magic to the local area with their popular Artisan Market in the stunning setting of the 13C Parish Church of St John the Baptist.

On Saturday 14th November from 11.00 – 16.00, Harringworth will showcase local creative artisans such as Little Print Gifts, The Supper House, Rutland Forge, Emilina Designs and many more. In addition, beautifully created and labelled ‘Made in Harringworth’ local produce and gifts such as jam, marmalade, chutney, Christmas bulbs and delicious homemade cakes will be on sale. As ever, the Harringworth Hamper Raffle will be centre stage filled with delicious food, wine, tea etc.

To complete the day, the Harringworth Café will refresh you with coffee, tea, cake, cheese scones and much more.
