Works by artists such as sculptors Pat Bull, Matt Duke and Amy Goodman, fine artists Soraya French and Sally Newton, and glassmakers Mark Taylor and David Hill, will be available to view and purchase.

Textile artist Sharon Kearley will be demonstrating traditional weaving techniques, while other artists will showcase their pottery, ceramic sculptures, stone works and bespoke clothing.

A highlight of the event will be a live glass-blowing demonstration by Mark and David.

Visitors can also try their hand at weaving on Harris Table Looms set up by Sharon.

The event will feature live Christmas music on the Sunday by Elbow Room, a folk trio from the Andover area, performing on both days.

The Tipsy Toastie Van will provide warm food and refreshments, with indoor seating available.

Artists will also offer Christmas treats in their studios.

Organisers said: "Come along for an inspiring and festive weekend in a beautiful rural setting. We look forward to welcoming you."
