Carsington Water is inviting everyone to enjoy some festive fun at its first ever, free to attend, Christmas Artisan Market, which is due to take place Sunday 8 December.

Over 30 local artisan market stalls will make up the festive market, including candles, cakes, jewellery and cheese, while mince pies and mulled wine are also on offer to get people in the Christmas spirit.

To build excitement even further, there will also be a number of different crafts for children, including a ‘letter to Santa’ station, make your own natural Christmas decoration and make your own reindeer food.

To add to the Christmas cheer, the Honey Belles Choir and Cromford Community Wind Band will be performing between 12-4pm. The market itself opens at 10am, and all stalls will be open until 4pm.

Visitors can visit the different market stalls and also have a wander around the reservoir
