Last month saw the second big fabulousplaces.co.uk Christmas Market held at the Roundhouse in Derby. The event brought together an array of food and gift stalls, all personally handpicked. The weekend was truly fabulous…I’m delighted the event was enjoyed by so many and has become an event people look forward to visiting!
The Christmas Market is an absolute pleasure for me to put together and it’s something I present each year because I love to bring together everything I promote through fabulousplaces.co.uk…great places, food, makers and shopping! For this year’s Market visitors were offered the opportunity to attend workshops and demonstrations in addition to Santa’s Grotto for the little ones! Workshops included cupcake decorating and festive door wreaths making. Demonstrations were festive gift wrapping, chocolate indulgence and home baking gift inspiration.
I would like to say thank you to everyone who visited, I hope you had a fabulous time! I would like to give a big thank you the wonderful businesses who made the event what it was…the stands looked fantastic and the quality of products were second to none. What a wonderful start to the festive season!
Since Jan 2009, fabulousplaces.co.uk events have been run independently and completely original ensuring they stand out from all the other events taking place. Each event is put together by Deb from fabulousplaces.co.uk and supported by some super local businesses…all held in a stunning venue. Big thanks to the following supporters:
Polly’s List (http://www.pollyslist.co.uk/)
Lavender grey (http://www.lavendergrey.com/)
Here are a selection of photos from the event…
I’m delighted to say the event will be back for 2012! The Summer event will be back at the Roundhouse on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th June 2012. Click here to be kept up to date with the latest news!
Have a wonderful Christmas & a fabulous New Year
