St Nicholas Priory is hosting a Craft Fair, featuring several local creative crafters displaying and selling their beautiful products in every historic room of the Priory, which will act as a fitting backdrop to their colourful stalls and tables
Come and marvel at the most ancient Undercroft, the splendid Tudor Parlour and the ‘haunted’ Kitchen, before climbing the ‘new’ 15th century stairs (there are easier 20th century ones) to witness the grandeur of our Great Hall. All these rooms are a fitting setting for the most beautiful creations on sale from our local artists and crafters.
Entry is free but donations would be very welcome.
