Leeds Castle Festive Food & Craft Fair
 Rising majestically from the moat like a fairy tale palace, Leeds Castle near Maidstone in Kent provides the perfect backdrop for its pre-Christmas ‘Festive Food & Craft Fair’.
Over 90 exhibitors will set up stall on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th November in three heated and carpeted marquees on the Cedar Lawn. With a host of gift ideas and fabulous festive fare, a free ‘carry to car’ service and music provided by a brass band, the weekend offers discerning shoppers a full day out whatever the weather.
Foodies will be spoilt for choice by the mouth-watering array of festive produce in the food marquee. You’ll find everything from tasty turkeys and sizzling sausages to Christmas puddings, preserves and even a chocolate fountain for those with a sweet tooth. Experimental cooks will love the gourmet and exotic food selection, while stalls selling fine wines and spirits offer the perfect accompaniment to festive dining.
Two craft marquees offer traditional and innovative Christmas gift ideas, seasonal clothing and stocking fillers. The range is truly impressive, with handcrafted jewellery, ‘pamper hampers’ and essential oils, glassware and ceramics, quilts and cushions, leather bags and belts, and traditional children’s clothing along with beautifully crafted toys and games.
The two castle shops, decorated in their Christmas finery, will also stock a wide range of Christmas tree and room decorations, candles and table linen. Colour themed to reflect different periods in history, they include a Tudor collection in rich antique gold and deep reds, an art deco inspired ‘Lady Baillie’ collection in gold and black, and a classic ‘Olde’ English collection for those who love a truly traditional Christmas.
Then, with your Christmas presents and festive food sourced and transported free of charge to your car, take time out to visit the castle itself. Relaxing in sumptuous surroundings that have played host to many Christmas celebrations over the centuries is the perfect way to round of a stress-free Christmas shopping trip.
