A Rather Wonderful Christmas Gathering
A Rather Wonderful Christmas Gathering
Saturday 5 & Sunday 6 December 2026 | 10.30am - 4pm | Whalton Village Hall, Morpeth
This December, NORTHCRAFTED Artisan Markets is bringing something rather special to the beautiful village of Whalton, Northumberland.
Join us for A Rather Wonderful Christmas Gathering — two days of genuine handmade, festive food, live entertainment and a little bit of Christmas magic.
This isn't just a Christmas market.
We've brought together a carefully selected collection of talented North East Makers, with beautiful handmade gifts, art, jewellery, homeware, treats and plenty of proper canny finds you simply won't find on the high street.
And there's much more happening throughout the weekend…
✨ Live festive performances
☕ Festive pop-up café
🎁 Two rather fabulous Christmas hamper raffles
⭐ Our interactive NORTH STAR Christmas installation
🎅 The Christmas Sitting Room, home to our very special Christmas Wish with Santa experience
❤️ Fundraising throughout the weekend for Neuroblastoma UK
⭐ A CHRISTMAS WISH WITH SANTA
Tucked away in our Christmas Sitting Room, we're creating a small and magical experience for just 12 children.
Each child will have time with Santa, receive their own cream star on which to write or draw their Christmas wish, add it to our Christmas Wish Tree, and take home a special Christmas gift bag.
Santa will be with us 1pm–2pm each day.
⚠️ Only 12 places are available and these MUST be booked in advance.
Profits from our Christmas Wish with Santa will support Neuroblastoma UK.
And while you're with us, add your own wish or message to our huge NORTH STAR. Over the course of the weekend, we'll watch it fill with stars from the people who have joined us. ⭐
Come for the Makers. Stay for a cuppa. Listen to the music. Find something beautiful. Add a star. Make a Christmas memory.
And most importantly, come and support the wonderful independent creative businesses right here in our region.
Proper canny finds, from proper canny folk.
