We know, we know. It seems almost indecently early to be talking about Christmas, but it never fails to sneak up and take us by surprise. Fans as we are of impulse and spontaneity, in this case we think there’s no such thing as being too organised!

The idea of Christmas shopping very likely strikes dread into your heart - no doubt it conjures up images of stressed out shoppers elbowing their way to presents they think will ‘do’, searching for inspiration in boiling hot, overcrowded shops, and that’s all after they’ve found themselves somewhere to park.

We know how precious time is, and how important it is to find just the right gift for everyone. We’d like to help you rediscover the forgotten pleasure of shopping, an authentic experience worlds away from the soulless click of a mouse. Our markets are buzzy, vibrant hubs where you can meet and engage with the passionate makers and stockists of a whole host of marvellous items. It’s a win-win situation - not only will you find a present that your loved one will adore, you’ll also have a pleasurable and fun time choosing it!

Shop high quality, unusual and beautiful gifts to surprise and delight even the trickiest to please, all under one roof.

Pop along to our Christmas markets and your Christmas shopping will be a pleasure rather than a chore. We can guarantee a truly spectacular array of fabulous gifts you won’t find anywhere on the high street.

We have a complete spectrum of gift ideas. Browse artisan and delicious gastronomy in our Food Hall, peruse clothing for everyone in the family. There will be furniture, travel inspiration, fabulous experience gifts and things for the garden and home. We even cater to the four legged members of your family. You really won’t need to go anywhere else!

Our wonderful café will be open all day serving breakfast, brunch, lunch and afternoon tea as well as providing a constant source of barista coffee to fuel the day.

Our first Christmas Market will be at Goodwood Racecourse 16th-18th November and another will be held at the beautiful Winchester Guildhall 30th November-1st December. We’ll be showcasing over 100 Rare Brands at each event. You can see the constantly growing list of brands who’ll be there here.

Tickets are available on the door for £8. Bring a friend for free! All you need for this is get hold of our 2 for 1 leaflet, either via social media channels or download it from our website here

If you have a Rare Brand you think would fit the event and want to join in the fun from the other side of the counter do get in contact as we have a few slots still available. But hurry - we’re filling up faster than a stocking in Father Christmas' workshop!
