It was a lot warmer for me up at the stables where mulled wine was on offer and free tasters from DJ Wines (Strawberry Liqueur, yum, yum), these were to be found amongst the stalls of crafts, fresh, local reared meats and other Christmas offerings.
Santa's Grotto was busy with children and the cake stall was a hive of activity, the band played in the background as people bought their goods and tried their luck at the tombola and raffle.
Stallholders were mainly local people selling & promoting their home produced wares and all spoke passionately about what they did and some travelled further including Felixstowe and Brandon. I had a very interesting chat with a member of the Waveney Bird Club who were there with their beautiful pictures, calendars and gift baskets for sale and some other good chats with the ladies from Cratfield Beef, Lou Lou's Vintage Shed, The Suffolk Soap Company and Suffolk Bears & Gifts (they really are special bears).
The fun lasted all morning and it seemed as if there was a constant stream of people carrying everything from a bottle of wine they won in the tombola to a Christmas tree they'd just purchased.
You can see some of the fun I had from the pictures below and click on the links to see more from just a few of the stallholders. Thanks to Heveningham Hall for the invite, I shall be sure to visit again next year.
