Browse local gifts
The organiser plans stalls indoors and outside, featuring local art, crafts and produce. Seasonal refreshments and live music are also listed. It is a chance to browse for presents while supporting island makers.
Main fair or preview evening?
The free daytime fair is separate from the ticketed VIP Preview Night on Friday 27 November, 6pm to 8.30pm. The organiser currently lists adult preview tickets at £9.50. Check ticket availability and the latest details through the official Northwood House event page.
