Tips & Advice

  • Head to the free kids' craft area first so children can write a letter to Santa and take it with them into the Grotto.
  • Pick up a family ticket if you're coming as two adults and two children, since one ticket covers the whole group.
  • Let little ones enjoy the free children's area with its Christmas activities and crafts while you browse more than 80 stalls.
  • Bring your Christmas list, because stall numbers are limited in each category, so you'll find a wide mix of independent makers and local brands.
  • Makers who want to sell should email trunkwellfair@gmail.com to ask about stall availability and how to apply for a place at the fair.

Special Events & Promotions
