Autumn Artisan Fair

Food, Drink & Crafts

This Autumn, Rockingham Castle will once again host our popular Artisan Fair, bringing together a vibrant mix of local food, drink, and craft producers for a truly memorable experience.

As you wander through the Castle grounds, enjoy breathtaking views of the Welland Valley and the beauty of the surrounding formal gardens. The Autumn Artisan Fair offers a fantastic opportunity to explore a variety of high-quality, handcrafted goods, from delicious artisan food and refreshing drinks to exquisite handmade crafts, all presented by talented local artisans.

Whether you’re looking for unique gifts, freshly baked treats, or something special to enjoy at home, you’ll find a wide range of products to suit all tastes. With each exhibitor offering something distinctive, the fair is the perfect way to discover the very best of local craftsmanship and produce. All traders are based in their own units throughout the Castle gardens.

Don’t miss this chance to support local businesses while enjoying the beauty of Rockingham Castle—an experience that’s as unique as the products on offer.

Dogs are welcome at this event! We ask that you keep your dog on a lead at all times and clean up after them – there are bins provided throughout the gardens. With the exception of assistance dogs, we do not allow dogs into the Castle itself.

For stand enquiries, please email events@rockinghamcastle.com with a description of you products and relevant images.
