Nestled in the Peak District is a beautiful historic hall which is hosting a Christmas market with a difference this festive season. Shoppers can immerse themselves in the magical setting of a 900-year-old fortified manor house and browse artisan stalls.
Haddon Hall, a mediaeval and Tudor house, comes into its own in the run up to Christmas. Twinkling lights, decorations and roaring fires gives it a magical atmosphere and one that guarantees to put you in a Christmassy mood.
In the run up to the big Haddon Hall is hosting its Mercatum Christmas Artisan Markets across several long weekends in November and December. It’s a chance to look for gifts you wouldn’t find on the high street.
