Christmas Market - Calling All Suppliers!

Yes, we may be half way through summer... but it's time to start thinking about the most wonderful time of the year - Christmas! We’re delighted to announce the return of our much-loved Christmas Market at Basset Down, and this year it’s bigger than ever! Due to high demand, the event will take place across two dates this year:

• Evening Market – Friday 28th November, 17:00 - 21:00
• Daytime Market – Saturday 29th November, 11:00 - 16:00

Set in our beautifully decorated upstairs function room, our Christmas Market is the perfect opportunity for local crafters and small businesses to showcase their products in a warm and festive setting.

Stallholders can choose to participate in either one of the market dates or book for both, subject to availability.

Interested in applying to be one of our stall holders? To be considered for a stall, please complete our online application form found below. Please note we operate a ‘non-competing’ market, and therefore do not have duplicate products available for sale.  Application deadline: Saturday 31st August.

Sip & Paint Workshops - new date coming soon 

Set against our beautiful countryside backdrop, this event invites you to explore your artistic side while enjoying a drink in great company. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned artist, our friendly, skilled instructor will guide you step-by-step as you create your very own masterpiece. Each session is designed to be fun, welcoming, and pressure-free—perfect for a night out with friends, a date, or even some well-earned solo time.

We’ll be tackling a new themed painting each session—so no two nights are ever quite the same!

What to expect:

• Artist-led instruction in a relaxed environment
• All materials provided, including aprons
• Drinks available throughout the evening*
• A finished piece of art to take home and be proud of
• The chance to meet like-minded people and enjoy a fun, social evening out

Whether you're joining us for the first time or you're a returning painter, our Sip And Paint nights are all about creativity, community, and good times. Spaces are limited—book your place today for £35/head and let your creativity flow at Basset Down!

*Please note that drinks are NOT included in the workshop price. We have a heavy emphasis on sipping to encourage a relaxed and creative environment as opposed to a formal art/painting class. All drinks must be purchased from our on-site licensed bar.

To book your place, please do so directly via the Sip & Paint Parties website, which can be found by clicking here.
