About Us
Over the first three weekends of December, Taurus Crafts' bustling Christmas markets showcase the best the area has to offer featuring a diverse range of original gifts, jewellery, artworks, crafts, handmade preserves, sweets, and hundreds of Christmas trees. Not only will you be spoilt for choice at the market, but visitors will also have the chance to meet the talented onsite designer-makers based at Taurus Crafts.
“The Christmas markets are the highlight of the year at Taurus Crafts, it’s when we get the most visitors and when we have the most handmade and local products on sale. It’s a showcase of the creative talent on site and a chance to meet the makers themselves. So come along and support our local talent and the visiting traders at our market, you are sure to find all you need to celebrate Christmas in style” Tom Haverly Marketing an Events Manager.
Returning to the market weekends this year is the hands-on creative activities marquee. Here families can get creative with artist Jayme-lee Cooper who will provide all the equipment, materials and expert know-how so budding crafters can get making. She is planning a series of drop-in workshops that will focus on using natural materials to make seasonal gifts and decorations that are sure to add a sense of originality to any home this Christmas.
Entertainment has become a key feature of the successful markets at Taurus Crafts, from what originally started out as a few local choirs now boasts over 20 performances across the market weekends. The event organisers are keen to highlight the diversity of the groups taking to the stage which this year include ukulele bands, singing groups, choirs, a flute choir, as well as an ever-growing number of talented local school choirs.
A visit to the markets wouldn’t be complete without checking out the resident artisan businesses, gift shops, and the dedicated Christmas shop providing visitors with even more choice for unique gifts and decorations. The Christmas shop has become a ‘must see’ at Taurus Crafts with the talented shop staff creating a different theme each year to create the perfect backdrop for all the seasonal stock on sale. This year the theme takes inspiration from close to home with the centres function room being transformed into a woodland wonderland full of wonderful plants and wildlife surrounding the gift displays.
