We will be hosting our second Festive Makers Market on the 12th and 13th of November 2022 at the Rye Harbour Discovery Centre.
Discovery Centre Manager, Gesine and Assistant Manager, Rowan are very pleased to announce this year's Festive Maker's Market.
Gesine and Rowan have carefully selected 20 very talented local artists and makers who will be selling their work. On offer will be handmade ceramics, home wares, jewellery, stained glass, mosaics, textiles, chocolate and much more. We had a big response to our call-out in September, and many craftspeople got in touch. We could have filled the space twice over with stalls, so the ones here are sure to inspire and interest our visitors.
Also on sale will be a range of Sussex Wildlife Trust and Friends of Rye Harbour Nature Reserve merchandise. Retail items in the Discovery Centre shop include some wonderful cards, advent calendars and our beautiful selection of gifts and toys in the Discovery Centre shop. At the same time, our café will be offering a festive menu with mince pies, turkey sandwiches and spiced punch.
