Festivalet 2024
By Charlotte Stace
Festivalet, the city’s annual independent artisan and design craft fair, is back for its latest Christmas edition.
Since its creation in 2009, this fair has celebrated artisan craftsmanship, showcasing a carefully curated selection of creators, designers and local food producers. The event prioritizes four essential values when selecting vendors: methodology, originality, proximity and sustainability.
The Christmas edition is a treasure trove for those seeking unique gifts, offering everything from clothing and jewellery to accessories, decorations, and so much more. The difference between this form of shopping and the high street experience is immense. You can meet the producers personally, whose imaginative endeavours are on show at the festive fair, and anything you buy as a present is likely to be totally original. There is food and drink to keep spirits up, and it’s all under one roof.
