Visitors can enjoy browsing over 70 stalls selling delicious food and drink, cakes and sweet treats, local crafts, gifts, pottery, presents for your pets, confectionary and much, much more. Outside stalls will tempt you with delicious things to eat and drink. You can buy tickets to ride on Heatherslaw Light Railway between Heatherslaw and Etal, or enjoy a journey on vintage double-decker buses running between Etal, Heatherslaw and Ford.
The local shops and cafes will be open. In addition, there will be all kinds of free festive entertainment including the Christmas Tree Trail.
