Quay Arts will host its annual Christmas Cracker weekend on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th November, featuring over 25 craftspeople and makers.
This is a not-to-be-missed highlight of the festive period and a unique opportunity to shop wonderful, handcrafted, unusual and thoughtful gifts all under one roof.
Entry is free and each day the centre will be open from 09:00-16:00 with stalls located throughout the building from the café and Seminar Room downstairs, to the Clayden Gallery and Green Room upstairs.
Of course, the Craft Shop will be open and stuffed to the rafters with even more Christmas cards, Christmas crafts and a wonderful selection of Christmas decorations.
This year there is such diversity amongst the stallholders, everything from wood to glass, felt to fabric, mosaic kits to needlepoint kits, prints to jewellery, pottery to illustration.
