Our Mercatum Winter Artisan Markets are hugely popular, so we are delighted to be able to hold them again this year and give our visitors and artisans the opportunity to come together here at Haddon to enjoy a little seasonal magic.  In response to demand, we will hold this year’s market across four long weekends, Thursday to Sunday, during November and early December.

Visitors will have plenty of time to browse, shop and enjoy the wonderful range of food and gift choices available.  Marquees will be located both outdoors, within the courtyard and on the Fountain and Bowling Green terraces of the gardens, and within some of the rooms of the Hall.  As always, this promises to be a fun shopping experience and a great opportunity to find something a little out of the ordinary for family and friends.  We are delighted to welcome back some of our artisans who have joined us before, so if you are looking for that favourite find you have purchased here on a previous visit, then there is a good chance you will be able to find what you are looking for.  But we are also excited to introduce many new makers for their first visit to Haddon, so you may well find yourself tempted to something new!
