Peelings Manor Barns Artisan & Farmers Christmas Market

Peelings Manor Barns hosts its Artisan & Farmers Christmas Market on Sunday 29 November, a full day of local food, handmade gifts and festive treats. It's run by Saxon & Finch Village Events, and the barns will be filled with local makers, independent businesses, artisan gifts and seasonal produce.

If you're looking for something specific, the market brings together a good mix of the local: food and drink from farmers and producers, and handmade gifts from independent makers. It's the kind of place where you can pick up a few Christmas presents and some proper seasonal produce in one go, rather than hunting across town. There's a Father Christmas on site too, so if you've got kids with you, they can have a proper visit while you're browsing.

Between the stalls, there's a warming cup of coffee or hot chocolate, cakes and festive refreshments on the day, so you can take a break and have a sit-down. It's a good spot to spend a Sunday morning or afternoon without having to rush off, especially if you're starting to think about your Christmas shopping.

Practical side: entry is free, and there's free parking on site, which makes it easy to get to and leave without worrying about a ticket. Dogs are welcome too, so you don't have to leave them at home. The market is on Sunday 29 November at Peelings Manor Barns in Eastbourne.
