Rawtenstall Artisan Christmas market was a brilliant event. Our local artisans usually have stalls in Manchester, and so popular are they, that they had a three day event here in Rawtenstall. Locals and visitors alike enjoyed the festive atmosphere of with a collection of Fine Food, Craft and Vintage stalls. The market lit up our newly laid town square at one end with the fun fair lighting up the opposite end of Bank Street. Three days of fun and frivolity and, although the artisan market has now come to end, this does not see the end of festive happenings throughout the valley throughout December. Alder Grange Community and Technology School will be hosting a craft stall at Rawtenstall's traditional market this coming weekend. The children from Alder Grange craft club will be selling their Christmas arts in aid of local charities. Hand made wreaths and Christmas decorations of all shapes, sizes and prices will be offer for that unique addition to your Christmas celebrations.
Our guests are enjoying bright, clear, crisp weather here in Rossendale. We still have a duck with a poorly leg which hops in each morning for its breakfast. Poor thing, he does enjoy a bit of black pudding though!
We are so fortunate with the variety of wildlife that enjoy coming into the garden for their morning titbits.
