Last years Exhibition Room 

Apart from the Exhibition Room we will have a sales area in the Orangery

This year we are doing something new! 

The items for sale will be set out as 'themes' - so we will have dedicated areas as gifts for children, ladies, men, jewellery, accessories, fashion, house and home, a special Christmas area with all things festive! 

A bit like a department store so all like things are together 

We hope this will make things easier for people to select things to purchase

You are (weather permitting) able to walk around the gardens when you visit the exhibition - so with teas and coffee and cakes available it makes for a lovely relaxing day out!

In the past we have noted that people tend to walk about to do a first viewing then have a coffee and cake then go around again and then purchase.
Many come both days - think its the cake!
But for best selection come early as everything we make are one off's and thus truly unique - so once they are gone they are not repeated!
Regulars make a point of coming first thing Saturday for the best selection - some come up from London!

Exhibition items are for sale - unless marked otherwise
If you wish to purchase an exhibition item we mark it as 'sold', but where possible we like the items to stay on exhibition, to be collected on Sunday at 4pm.
