      It sure is, David. Most of the sfuff on sale has been made by local crafts folk which makes it all the more special.

      It’s always a joy to visit. Most of the markets around here are held in streets – ours is in a garden which is so much nicer!

    thanks for sharing these, I love christmas market of all kinds!

      I’m sure you’d enjoy this one, Beth, it’s so different from the norm!

    They try to do this here in the colonies, but it looks nothing like how nice yours look!

      Thanks, Mitch. We’re quite a small town with a close knit community, and that really comes across at events such as this.

    What a fun place to enjoy Christmas. I got stuck with all the sweets. Of course I would. You do the most wonderful adventures.

    Thank you for hosting the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.

    Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Keith. 🙂

      It sure is, and it’s great when adventures are just a short walk away!

    Beautiful and colorful displays

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings November 11, 2025 / 17:35

      We were blessed with some sunshine which really brought the colours to life!

    Hi Keith – Manor Gardens is a delightful restful place to visit. This looks a fun local market … I must get to the Towner’s one … cheers Hilary

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings November 12, 2025 / 16:32

      I wander around there often, it’s a delightful garden filled with history.

    Christmas markets are the best. I prefer waiting until at least December 1… Then again, with the snowfall we received last night and which is still falling now, it is a beautiful fairy-like day!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings November 12, 2025 / 16:35

      This was unusually early! In December I’ll be going to the UK’s biggest one in the Winchester Cathedral Close. It even has a ice rink!

      • Dale's avatar Dale November 12, 2025 / 16:48

        No kidding! And ooohhh… looking forward to your pics of that one!

    Outstanding pics, Keith! I love the atmosphere, with the autumn leaves on the ground, the fabulous trees especially the holly tree. What a great venue and it looks like lots of fun and well attended. I love the glass art and the woodwork pieces.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings November 12, 2025 / 16:38

      It’s a perfect setting. It was a lot busier than the pictures suggest, I spent ages standing around waiting for people to get put of my way!

      • Suzette Benjamin's avatar Suzette Benjamin November 12, 2025 / 18:29

        It is a challenge to try to avoid photographing people at a public event while capturing the stall and booths details. You did very well indeed, Keith.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings November 12, 2025 / 17:26

      It’s a lovely garden. I’m seeing holly berries galore everwhere I go, seems it’s a good year for them!

    Hello Keith, wow, looks like a fantastic place to enjoy! I love all your photos, and there are so many beautiful things at this amazing Christmas market! Thank you so much for sharing!

    As well, I would like to thank you for your visit and kind comment on my blog! I post on Mondays and Thursdays. I really appreciate you sharing this tour!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings November 12, 2025 / 17:31

      It’s lovely, especially as most of things on sale are locally hand crafted.

      I enjoyed my visit to your site very much.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings November 12, 2025 / 17:50

      Indeed, it solved a couple of present problems too!

    So gorgeous! What a lovely way to get organised….

    That is quite a market! We found a few things we would like to buy just browsing your photos! For us it is still too early for Christmas, though. Mom refuses to do much Christmas stuff until later in November.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings November 14, 2025 / 14:37

      I thoght it was a bit early – until I got there and changed my mind!

    I bet the smells alone were incredible! Thanks for sharing the visual treat!

    Looks like a fun market.


    You’re right! It does feel like Christmas starts earlier every year. I was already starting to see things even before Halloween this time around.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings November 14, 2025 / 14:47

      Thanks so much.

      Easter eggs will be in the shops soon!

    This is a market I can spend hours at

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings November 14, 2025 / 14:48

      It’s a lovely market in a beautiful setting – I did spend hours there!
