DESCRIPTION:If you love pottering round a good market with the kids in tow, this one's
worth popping in the diary. Rockingham Castle is bringing back its Autumn
Artisan Fair on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September, 11am to 4pm, with two
full days of local food, drink and handmade crafts set against one of the
county's most beautiful backdrops.
What's on at the Autumn Artisan Fair
As you wander around the Castle grounds, you'll get sweeping views across
the Welland Valley and the chance to explore the formal gardens while
you're there. The fair itself is packed with stalls from talented local
artisans, offering everything from delicious food and drink to beautifully
handmade crafts. Whether you're after a unique gift, something to treat
yourself, or just fancy a proper browse, there's a good mix of stallholders
to discover.
It's a nice way to support small, local businesses while having a wander
somewhere genuinely lovely - and with the gardens and grounds to explore
too, it makes for an easy half-day out rather than just a quick market
visit.
Dogs are welcome
Good news if you're bringing the four-legged member of the family - dogs
are welcome at the Autumn Artisan Fair, as long as they're kept on a lead
and you clean up after them (bins are provided around the site). Assistance
dogs aside, dogs aren't permitted inside the Castle itself.

If you're building this into a bigger day of exploring, it's well worth a
look at our guide to things to do in Northamptonshire for families for more
ideas nearby. And if you fancy giving the little ones something to do while
you browse the stalls, our free nature scavenger hunt is perfect for
exploring the grounds together.
It's the kind of event that's easy to build a whole day around - a browse
of the stalls, a walk through the gardens, and maybe a bit of a treat from
one of the food stands. If you want more days out like this landing in your
inbox every week, our weekly what's on newsletter is the easiest way to
keep on top of what's happening across the county.
