One of the region’s favourite festive events gets underway on Sunday 18th December at The Bowes Museum, close to the historic market town of Barnard Castle. The Bowes Christmas Market has proved a real crowd puller over the past few years featuring some of the north’s best food, drink and crafts.
This year is set to be the biggest Christmas Market ever with over 50 stalls situated in the grounds of the beautiful Bowes Museum. William Ramsbottom one of the organisers behind the event in association with Barnard Castle Farmers’ Market said, 2010’s event was a huge success even though most of the region had suffered a heavy covering of snow the previous evening. It certainly didn’t deter the crowds. This year we have even more stalls representing the best of the north, plus we’ll have Santa in his Grotto, reindeer, arts and crafts, artisan food and drink, plus, hot and cold refreshments and there’s ample free parking, and what’s more it’s free to enter.’
Visitors are also welcome to stroll through the beautiful grounds of The Bowes Museum, while the museum itself will be open to paying visitors which houses significant collections of fine and decorative arts.
The event runs from 10.00am – 4.00pm. You can stay updated to news by visiting www.barnardcastlefarmersmarket.co.uk
