A HISTORIC SETTING FOR HANDCRAFTED GIFTS: HAREWOOD HOUSE WINTER ARTISAN MARKET

The festive season officially begins at one of Yorkshire’s most historic estates as Little Bird

Made and their artisans return for its annual Winter Artisan Market at Harewood House.

From Saturday, 8th to Tuesday, 11th November 2025, the highly anticipated four day event

will feature over 160 local makers, crafters and producers offering a unique destination for

festive shopping.

Artisans will fill the beautiful North Park Walk, providing visitors with stunning views of the

historic house and gardens while they shop for unique, handcrafted gifts.

Managing Director and founder of Little Bird Made Jackie Crozier said, ‘’We are absolutely

thrilled to be returning to Harewood House for the fourth consecutive year of the Winter

Artisan Market. Our ongoing partnership with the Harewood House Trust continues to make

this event a highlight of the festive season. This event is an amazing opportunity for our

artisans to showcase their wares and creative talent. The winter artisan market gets bigger

each year, and we look forward to welcoming all of our visitors.’’

Natalie Holmes, Head of Commercial and Visitor Experience for Harewood House Trust says,

‘’We are delighted to be working in partnership with Little Bird Made for our Christmas

market again this year. This is our fourth year working alongside Jackie and the Little Bird

team and we couldn't be prouder of how successful the market has become. It's a firm

favourite for our visitors and always brings lots of new visitors to Harewood too.

This year, we've gone one step further and brought forward our Christmas opening, so that

guests can enjoy both the market and the house decorated for the festive season. This year,

interior designer Siobhan Murphy (TV’s Interior Design Masters and Interior Curve)

transforms Harewood with her signature maximalism, bold patterns and joyous colour. A

reimagining of Regency splendour for 2025, it’s Christmas with a sense of theatre and

wonder. A season to ignite the imagination and delight every generation.’’

Natalie Deeley, owner of artisan small business, The Kandlers Table says, ‘’If there is one

event to ignite your love of Christmas, it is the Harewood House Winter Artisan Market.

Harewood House is spectacular and is a must see at Christmas time. Surrounded by the

beautiful grounds and the wild deer, it is simply a dream to trade at this event, with stalls

offering amazing local, handmade products. So come along and support small local

businesses. You won’t be disappointed.’’

Rebecca Turnbull, owner of the stunning Kester Studio said, ‘’I cannot believe the Harewood

House Winter Artisan Market is so close. After months of prep, planning and hard work it’s

always a real treat to be a stall holder at this amazing event. The spirits are always high; the

atmosphere is great and it’s lovely to see visitors reactions to new collections and seasonal

products.’’
