We are Crowdfunding!! Operation Marquee begins today!! 🎅

Due to overwhelming demand for stalls this year, we are in desperate need of additional marquees to provide shelter for our stallholders and the public whilst shopping.

As Kirstie & I run this event entirely on a voluntary basis, any profits go directly to Millbrook Pre-School. We want to be able to pass over as much as we can and therefore need to keep costs down to a minimum. Operational costs are high due to venue hire fees, insurances etc. Our stall fees are minimal to ensure we stick to our ethos of being accessible to all who want to exhibit with us, but this does mean that funds are limited.

This is where you come in.......

This is our 4th annual event and we have grown from a mere 15 stalls to a staggering number of 71 enquiries this year!!!! This is a variety of charities/CIC's who we offer reduced rate stall fees, small businesses and local crafters, artists and more. We aim to support everyone in our community that wishes to join and do not select/vet stallholders.

We need to raise around £600 per marquee. In an ideal world we would like 4 of these to accommodate the vast number of stallholders we have in a seamless outfit; but realistically we need a bare minimum of 2 in order to get through this year.

So please help us in supporting our local community, by continuing this event, where everyone can shop locally this festive season. Every penny helps and so does spreading the word so please share, share, share......

To purchase 2 large event marquees for stallholders to exhibit inside for our annual Christmas Market in support of Millbrook Preschool.

Totally loved making this graphic as it is so true. We absolutely love the place we call home & we are so lucky to have such a gorgeous array of independent businesses in this area 💗
Whether they have retail premises or not, each business, artist or maker has such love, care & attention at the heart of what it offers.
We cannot wait to see our stallholders creations this year & hope to see you all there. It doesnt matter if you are buying, or browsing, your support means the world to all involved 💗🎁🎄⛄️

10 days until our Christmas Market and today's introduction is our 2023 venue..... The Brook at Millbrook Football Club

We held our first ever market here in 2021 but after outgrowing the space instantly we spent 2022 in multiple rooms and venues at the Village Hall & Scout Hall. As lovely as it was; having stalls here, there and everywhere wasn't ideal for us, especially with stairs to contend with. It is so important to us that we are open and accessible so this was a big factor in choosing a venue this year.

So with lots of positive changes at The Brook since our first event, we look forward to returning there this year.

With over 50 stallholders this year, we have outdoor marquees as well as the indoor clubhouse so everything is under shelter and best of all.... this year we return to being all on one level, in one space for all of our lovely festive joy to be together.

The Lakeside bar will be open as a public bar serving a variety of coffees, tea & hot chocolate from Cornish Tea & Cornish Coffee plus alcoholic and soft drinks. There will also be hot food, snacks, homemade cakes and the obligatory Mulled wine and Mince pies (It wouldn't be Christmas without them!!) If you have a loyalty card for The Brook then don't forget to bring it for 10% off at the bar!

Stay tuned for more daily introductions as we reach the final countdown ❤🎄🎅

Only 11 days to go & almost time to start showcasing this years fabulous festive team 💗

So, to kick-start..... this is us! We are the organisers behind Millbrook Christmas Market! Otherwise known as Kirstie & Fran!

📸 1 = Taken after our 1st & 2nd years markets
📸 2 = Kirstie & her family
📸 3 = Fran & her family

We are busy, working mums who organise this annual market (& other community events) completely voluntarily! We're both super passionate about our village & strongly believe in supporting other local businesses, artists, crafters & creatives from this beautiful place we call home.

We absolutely couldn't do it without the support of Kirstie's partner Ross & Fran's husband Ryan; who both always go above & beyond to help us with the setup/takedown of our events (aswell as our stress levels leading up to the big day!) So a huge public note of thanks & love to them both ❤️

Stay tuned for lots more introductions and don't forget to note the date in your diaries..... Sunday 3rd December! 🎄🎁⛄️

There is ample free parking, we are right along the beautiful lakeside walking route and just minutes from the bus stop. If you're coming over the water then you can catch the Cremyll ferry with Plymouth Boat Trips then hop on the 70a bus with Plymouth Citybus that drops you off alongside the lake :)

......3 weeks to go until our epic Christmas Market returns to Millbrook & we cannot wait!

We are so proud that our random collaboration back in 2021 has drawn in well over 50 stallholders this year; all local & staying true to our core value of being fully inclusive, welcoming & supporting local, independent businesses, artists, crafters, entrepreneurs & those who simply enjoy making or selling.

We have long standing, experienced entrepreneurs all the way across to stalls fundraising for our village preschool, primary school & animal sanctuary.

We have stall holders from 11yrs all the way to late 80's! And best of all, almost everyone is from our wonderful community. We really are so lucky to have these fab talents in our local area ❤️

We absolutely LOVE to see what everyone brings to this super festive day & the genuine love & care that goes into their items.

So mark the calendars guys, Millbrook may be small, but we are MIGHTY! Our festive cheer is bursting at the seams & it will be a fabulous day filled with affordable gifts, treats, music & refreshments. We even have a large Children's playground onsite whilst you shop!
