Feeling crafty?

How we love the Christmas countdown: with all manner of festive events going on around the Cotswolds from late night shopping to Christmas lights, we love this time of year. One of our favourites has to be The Living Crafts for Christmas at Blenheim Palace in November. With the palace decked out for Christmas and 3 special pavilions (heated and carpeted of course) in the palace courtyard, theres no finer place to embrace the spirit of Christmas and revel in the festive vibe as you browse some of the finest British contemporary craft. The fair is open from 10am until 5:30pm between Thursday 19^th and Sunday 22^nd November and its definitely worth buying your tickets online in advance. We don't know about you, but we'll be heading straight to the 'Tastes of Christmas' pavilion - there's something very appealing about the aroma of mulling spices and weve never been known to refuse a handmade chocolate or two see you there!
