A weekend of festive themed activities, with a selection of family-friendly crafts, live music and delicious food and drinks to enjoy from our cafe.

We also have Father Christmas coming to visit us for the first time too – we’re so excited!! Look out for more details and times coming soon.

This year’s Frost Fest will include family-friendly cookie decorating, tree decorations and other crafts for children, live music with Julie Wilmore and William Blythe (Saturday 11.30am – 2pm) and Axum Folk Ensemble (Sunday 12pm – 2pm), you can find out more about the musicians in our separate event listings.

We also have a lovely Winter Robin bird walk in the beautiful Derwent Valley, find out more and book with the link.

And of course, not forgetting the fabulous return of our mischievous elf trail – what are they getting up to this year?

On Saturday evening we also have a workshop for the grown-ups to enjoy – our Christmas inspired fused glass workshop, with a glass of wine and nibbles. Find out more and book a space here.

We hope to see you here – a great way to get into the festive spirit in the run up to Christmas 2022!
