A little late in the day, for which many apologies, but I've been elsewhere.
A HUGE thank you to everyone who came to support this year's Made in Benhall Christmas Market. It was the best yet and that's all down to the visitors from nearby and further afield who not only came, but spent too!
It was wonderful to meet so many new residents in Benhall and Sternfield who wholeheartedly supported the Market. They seemed to have been seriously impressed with the quality of the work being sold there. Welcome to our village and thank you.
"Thank you's" also go to Rachel and her team at Benhall Village Social Club for all their hard work including delicious sausage rolls, bacon baps and lots of other things to eat and drink.
Then there is "Team Made in Benhall" who pulled the whole thing together. Like any event, Made in Benhall Christmas Market takes a lot of work and commitment from a very small team.
We were setting up on Sunday morning in darkness, the stands being lit by tiny Christmas lights due to a fairly widespread power cut. There was some trepidation whether the event would go ahead at all, let alone anyone would visit, but luckily power was restored shortly before it was due to open. Whew! Some of our sellers, however, were still off-line until this morning which must have been pretty miserable.
So, thank you again for everyone involved, our makers/artists, the Club and all our wonderful visitors.
Here's to Made In Benhall 2026!
