One of the most commonly asked questions about Haddon Hall's Mercatum Christmas Artisan Market is - "Do we have to buy separate admission tickets to the hall?"

The answer is "No!" The stalls are located within the beautifully decorated rooms of the hall, as well as throughout the grounds, courtyards and gardens, and everything is included in your admission ticket price.

With hundreds of carefully-selected artisans for perfect gifts, live music and street food, this is the one festive market not to be missed!

Join us on Saturday 24 October for a Traditional Corn Dolly Making Workshop, led by Lu Towle, a third-generation straw worker. The art of making Corn Dollies is an endangered heritage craft, deeply rooted in rural life. Harvest tokens and trophies were traditionally made from the last sheaf of wheat to hold and protect the ‘spirit of the harvest’ through the winter.

In this full-day workshop at Rowsley Village Hall, you will learn a variety of traditional corn dolly designs and techniques, creating beautiful keepsakes of the season to take home and treasure.

This event is suitable for everyone over the age of 18. No experience is needed and all tuition, materials and equipment will be provided. We have only 1 ticket left for this event, so please don't delay if you would like to join us!

Haddon Medieval Park is lucky to have a number of wonderful oak trees, including many that are hundreds of years old. They're looking especially beautiful now in their early autumn finery. A single oak tree can support more than 2,300 species, including birds, mammals, insects, fungi and lichens. More than 300 of those species are entirely dependent on native oaks for their survival. We are very proud of ours, and love watching them change throughout the seasons.

🌿 Haddon Medieval Park is the oldest, largest nature regeneration project in the Peak District. The 500 acres of ancient wood pasture, water meadows and twisting river that surround Haddon Hall have been managed organically for nature since 2009. To find out more, please follow our social media accounts for regular updates.

The colours in our parkland are looking beautiful now, both on the trees and collected on the ground. This small stand of maple trees overlooks the turrets of the hall and always shines so brightly in autumn.

🍂 If you're able to, why not think about leaving the leaves on the ground this year, rather than raking them up from your garden? This is beneficial for your garden and also for the environment. As leaves decompose, they break down into organic matter that improves the overall health and structure of your soil, and the leaf litter also provides important shelter and food for birds, small mammals, invertebrates and insects.
