This year Crafty Vintage will take place at three magnificent venues including; Hoghton Tower in Chorley, Brockholes Nature Reserve in Preston and Bowland Beer Hall in Clitheroe.

The high profile addition of the recently opened Bowland Beer Hall to the festivities, which are now in their 5th year, will make this year's markets the most anticipated ever.

As usual the stalls will showcase the very best of gorgeous gifts and festive treats from the finest artisans, collectors and creators in the land.

Crafty Vintage founder, Laura Johnson said; "we are extremely pleased to be expanding our shopping experience and enabling even more families the opportunity to shop local and support independent retailers this Christmas".

Food lovers will once again be in heaven at the range of culinary delights on offer in the streetfood courtyards at Brockholes and Hoghton Tower. Foodies, can sample traditional delights from across Europe; including wood fired pizzas, pancakes, dumplings, mezzo platters, bratwurst and award winning cocktails.

Last year more than 10,000 people visited the markets and to make the experience even more enjoyable, organisers have made some exciting editions. Laura added "We will be staying open late into the evening at both Brockholes and Bowland Brewery, plus we will be announcing a varied line up of live music and entertainment in the next few days on our new website craftyvintage.com."
