If you like your food, this is a Must Do!!!

Indoors, with a few stalls outside, a wide variety of locally produced foods and crafts, spread through 3 halls.
Only products produced, raised, baked or caught locally (30 mile radius) are displayed.

Some stalls have tasters!! I tried a sip of ale, chutneys on crackers, balsamic vinegars and flavoured oils on pitta, and a christmas fruit pie, which was delicious!

The mushroom stall seemed to be the most popular when I visited, with queues stretching around the table..a wide variety of funghi, at various prices.

Vegetables, meat, fish, cheeses, oils, vinegars, real ales, pies, chutneys, jams, breads etc of high quality, plus soaps/pot pourri, carved wood trinkets, basket work, furniture and a lot more besides!

A cafe serves hot/cold snacks. Outside, there was a pancake stall.
