Christmas Craft Fair
The ancient hall is spectacular in its own right and has some important examples of sixteenth-century wall painting, albeit only traces and the atmospheric hall makes up part of what was originally a single room where the Dacre family would have entertained in style.
This ancient monument is beautiful with it’s wonderfully restored roof beams and its intimate feel will be bolstered further with cosy charm once the decorations and stalls are laid out.
Organisers work hard to make sure we have a great range of quality items in the craft fair. We have over 40 stalls selling all sorts of things like glassware, ceramics, jewellery, cushions, felting, soft toys, hornwork, paintings, candles, walking sticks, cards and local honey.
We also have brilliant food like soups, hot food, healthy salads and a range of fabulous cakes. We serve meals all day.
The Dacre Hall Christmas Fair is more than just a craft fair, it’s an experience and will kick start your run into your festive period. Dacre Hall is a registered charity and, can donate to their bric-a-brac table and sales will help the upkeep of the historic hall.
There is plenty of free parking and the one pound admission will go to maintaining the hall.
