While you’re there, take home a special keepsake: our limited-edition 2025 Hearts and Homes tea towel, created to mark this year’s event.
All stalls have been handpicked to offer a beautiful range of merchandise — from Christmas decorations and pottery to plants, gifts, and more — there’s truly something for everyone.
