We had a brilliant first day of the Essex County Craft Show yesterday, thank you to everyone who came 🙂
If you are visiting us today please don’t forget your sunscreen and hat as it’s set to be another scorcher.

🚗If you are driving to the venue and are paying on the gate, we advise arriving from 12pm if possible.
✨Don’t forget to take a look at the workshops on the website, there is currently space available for some fabulous activities and the workshop marquee is in a lovely shady spot of the rose garden.

To clarify - If you do not have a ticket yet, please arrive today from 12pm onwards. This means we will be able to control traffic/parking for the busy first 2 hrs, without being overloaded with additional unknown numbers arriving. If you must arrive at this time, we will not turn you away and you can buy tickets on the gate, but we are kindly asking that everyone without tickets (where possible) can wait a couple of hours until midday in order to arrive. The event runs until 5pm and there will be plenty going on during the whole day, with fabulous crafts on sale throughout, plus live music, food, drink and much more.
Thank you

Her dedication to capturing the energy and expression of her subjects is evident in every piece. Using a range of graphite pencils on high-quality paper, she builds up layers to achieve depth and realism, often focusing on the eyes to convey emotion.

TICKETS INFO + Q&A Announcement !!! - PLEASE READ -
We have received many enquiries asking if tickets will be available on the door. The answer is YES. Initially, we were not looking to do this as it's easier to control traffic/overcrowding when tickets are prebooked in capped timeslots, however, we have now secured a 2nd car parking field, allowing us additional capacity for on the day visitors!! However, we would still add, that it's far better to prebook, guarantee your entrance and secure the cheaper tickets online.
Additional Questions received, with answers below...

Q. Next week is looking very sunny, is there any shaded seating?
A. Yes, we are hiring two large capri marquees to provide covered outdoor seating, PLUS the three wooded garden trails are lovely and shady. There's also cover by the tea rooms, inside the marquees and the house itself. Plus, there will be ice creams, cold drinks bars, tea room selling cold drinks, and walks by the ponds to cool down. As you will see from the weather screen shots below, it will be warm, (mid 20's) but not roasting around the 30's, so it looks set to be a great weekend for everyone.

Q. Can dogs come?
A. Yes, well behaved dogs on leads are allowed at the event, but just not inside the marquees or house.

Q. Is there disabled parking/toilets?
A. Yes, we have a separate disabled parking area, and have disabled toilets (+baby change) at the event

Q. How many stalls are there? I've seen you asking for new vendors?
A. The event is sold out for stall holders (and has been for some time) we have over 120 stall holders confirmed. Unfortunately, as many event organisers know, Facebook bots can be very frustrating when they constantly write spam on our posts, asking for "new vendors". These messages are not from us, please rest assured, when you visit the show you will be seeing a LOT of exhibitors, showcasing a fantastic variety of hand made crafts, plus food, drinks and more.

Q. What entertainment is there?
A. We have a different jazz band playing in the garden, by the seating, across both days. Plus we have a 30 piece choir on the Saturday!

Q. Do stall holders accept cash or card?
A. Most will accept both, but some may be cash only. We provide additional Wi-Fi boosters across our events for our stall holders in order to facilitate card payments faster.

Q. How much are the tickets?
A. Adult tickets start from £7 and all ticket options + workshops + house entry are available online at:
