Holbeck Urban Village: Handmade Christmas Fair
On 12 December 2009, Holbeck Urban Village is host to a unique Christmas Fair.
Celebrate the festive season and enjoy an alternative day of Christmas shopping by heading to Holbeck Urban Village on Saturday 12 December 2009, where local businesses will be selling everything from pickles and jams to artwork and jewellery for great unconventional gifts.
Take time browsing for the perfect pressie, meet the people who have handmade special festive goodies and treats and grab some mulled wine or cider from the local hostelries on a fun, relaxed day of festiveness – all only 10 minutes walk away from the frenzy of Leeds city centre.
Leeds Vintage Fairs will be welcoming shoppers to the listed Green Sand Foundry for an inspiring new 100% Handmade fair promoting local designers and artists who will showcase and sell their work which includes bespoke jewellery, artwork and objects for the home and beautiful items to wear.
Next door The Midnight Bell will be roasting chestnuts and serving warm cider from their
outdoor bar while entertaining visitors with a grotto, a reindeer hunt and traditional fairground games, perfectly located next to the recently revamped ‘Wonderwood’ urban green space. In a neighbouring courtyard The Cross Keys is holding its annual seasonal fair with a range of stalls from local independent businesses and regional food and drink suppliers. Visitors can pick up a Yorkshire Christmas tree, foodie stocking fillers from organic cafe Out of the Woods or sample some festive beers served up from The Cross Keys’ very own
converted 1950s ice cream van, Mr Frothy. The area of Holbeck Urban Village is buzzing with independently owned and run cafes, restaurants and pubs. Local residents and businesses are proud to be located in what is the home to the digital and creative industries in Leeds and the Handmade Christmas Fair is a chance for those unfamiliar with the area to come along and enjoy this historic but cutting-edge area of Leeds. Events continue into
the evening so visitors can have a pub lunch or coffee in one of the local eateries and enjoy jazz at The Engine House cafe or dinner at The Foundry wine bar. Venue:
