The Lincolnshire Makers Artisan Market
A new highlight of the Christmas calendar!
A Seasonal Showcase of Local Talent
A new highlight in the Christmas calendar, the Lincolnshire Makers Festive Artisan Market arrived at Thetford Farm Barn in December 2025, transforming the barn into a festive celebration of local creativity. The event brought together artisans, designers and food producers for a day of seasonal shopping, discovery and community spirit, set against the warmth and character of the historic barn.
Organised by the Lincolnshire Makers, the market has quickly established itself as a standout event, welcoming visitors to browse and buy directly from more than 60 local makers, artists and independent producers. From handcrafted gifts and homeware to artisan food and drink, the market offered a thoughtful alternative to high-street Christmas shopping celebrating the talent, passion and stories behind each small business.
