A Handmade Mid Winter Market 2024

Friday 15th November 2024 (4.30pm – 7pm)

Saturday 16th & Sunday 17th November 2024 (10 -4pm)
at the Tithe Barn in Lenham

EXCITING NEWS –  Let’s celebrate having these extremely talented local exhibitors in one place, support their businesses and buy gifts and treasures that can not be bought on the High Street.

The Friday evening at the Tithe Barn is a relaxed time when you can stroll through the barns, soak up the atmosphere,  purchasing whatever takes your fancy! maybe sipping a warming glass of mulled wine.

Remember that there are two main barns – the Tithe Barn to the left and the adjoining Cobbled barn to the right.  The Old Tractor Shed and the lawn area.

Previous visitors to the markets will know that this is an amazing opportunity for independent artists and producers from across the region to sell their work directly to the public. In return the public are able to meet, chat to and  support the local crafters, all in the stunning setting of the privately owned Tithe Barn – the largest of its kind in the country.

If you are a local maker or producer and would like a pitch at this year’s market please contact [email protected]
