Situated near Dalkeith, to the south of Edinburgh, the historic building was founded as a Cistercian Monastery in 1140 by King David I, and what is now Newbattle Abbey College became the Kerr family home in the 16th century, before becoming an adult residential college in 1937. The army requisitioned Newbattle during World War 2, and it opened its doors as a college again in 1950. It has retained many of the original features including the vaulted crypt and the breathtaking Drawing Room. Newbattle Abbey College is off Newbattle Road, Dalkeith, EH22 3LL. There is plenty of parking. Open 10:30am - 4pm each day. There is an £3 entrance fee (£2 Concession).

3d2d’s Edinburgh Christmas Art, Craft and Design Fair returns to the glorious surrounds of the Assembly Rooms in 2023. The Assembly Rooms are situated on George Street, in the heart of Edinburgh’s City Centre. Carefully refurbished with stunning chandeliers and period features, the Assembly Rooms play host to 120 of Britain’ finest Artists, Designers and Makers, all only selling their own work.

3d2d’s Glasgow Christmas Fair returns in the last weekend of November 2022, but in a new venue! We’re making the move to The Briggait. This beautiful Grade A listed building in Glasgow’s medieval quarter was constructed in 1873 as a fishmarket, and operated as a market for over 100 years. It now houses WASPS Studios as well as art and cultural events throughout the year. Shop 60+ Artists, Designers and Makers, who only sell their own work. The Briggait is at 141 Bridgegate Glasgow, G1 5HZ and is easy to find. Open 10:30 - 5:00 each day. There is an £3 entrance fee (£2 Concession).

I will be joining other Northern & Borders artists & makers at this inaugural art & craft fair in the Pele Tower. The village of Cresswell, a popular tourist destination, sits at the southern end of the magnificent Druridge Bay in Northumberland. The impressive sandstone tower dominates the little village. Pele towers were built between 1350 and 1600 and were miniature castles built as a defensible retreat against attacks from the Border Reivers. At a time when the rest of England was generally peaceful and prosperous, the border folk needed the thick-walled bastle houses and pele towers simply to survive. Cresswell Pele Tower is a well preserved example, one of only two in preservation and open to the public, thanks to recent excavations and an extensive renovation by Cresswell Pele Tower Trust.

Returning for the 2nd year to this beautiful private residence, Art in the Castle will feature around 20 artists/creatives set within 4 rooms of the Castle. These beautiful rooms have the owner’s private art collection adorning the walls. A Tin Shed event.

Falstone Show Ground. Craft Marquee opens 9am. Don’t forget your wellies!
