Whether you wish to sample delicious local food, pick up some tips from professionals at our chef demonstrations, find that perfect gift or simply treat yourself, we've got you covered at Living North’s Christmas Fair 2023.
Head to our Shopping Halls to pick up the latest trends and browse the best local brands and designers. Here you will find beautiful handmade gifts, homeware and beauty products you won't find on the high street – a perfect place to shop and support small businesses this Christmas.
The way to anyone's heart is through their stomach and our fantastic food producers will not disappoint with a range of artisan treats, from sweets to local meats, fish and cheeses.
