A chance to enjoy the best that Northamptonshire has to offer

Lamport Hall is delighted to launch a new event for the 2025 season. Inspired by the incredible makers, artisans and designers across the county and surrounding areas, we will be hosting a Makers Market and Food Festival on Saturday 10th May, 10am-5pm.

There will be over 80 handpicked and carefully curated stalls selling a wide array of products including crackling wood wick candles, fused glass, keepsake boxes, propagation stations, tealights, handmade soap, wood turned items, original artwork, limited edition fine art prints, handmade willow crafts, family portrait experiences, wax melts, felt home décor, handmade fudge, ethical clothing, padded noticeboards, handcrafted jewellery, wheel thrown pottery, gin, brownies, cooking sauces, cocktail kits, pick n mix, craft ciders, handmade pies, luxury handmade chocolates, blondies, cakes, needle felted art, and much, much more!

There will also be street food on offer from the brilliant Brooklyn Brownie Co selling brownies, sundaes, cheesecake and slushies’, as well as Famous Spyros serving Greek Souvlaki gyros wraps, Greek salads and loaded fries and The Grumpy German selling Bratwurst, Currywurst, Frankfurters and homemade German cakes, cookies and savoury bakes.

There will be musical entertainment throughout the day from Pat James and Monique (who you might just recognise from The Voice!) so why not grab a drink and a bite to eat whilst soaking up the atmosphere?

Ami Becker Art will be painting live, showing her incredible talent for creating colourful, lively and inspiring abstract original art. Jack Astbury will also be demonstrating how to create woodwork pieces, encouraging younger visitors to have a go at using traditional woodworking tools.

For smaller visitors (and grown-ups who fancy a try too!) there will be a free have-a-go circus workshop at 11:30am-12:30pm and 1:30pm-2:30pm.

Perhaps you might like a lasting memento of your day out or a rare photo as a family or group of friends? There will be a free to use photobooth on site so strike a pose and grab a snap.

Our lovely café selling locally sourced cakes, sausage rolls and artisan coffee will also be open, with cold beers and wine also available. And don’t miss our little gift shop where we will be selling cards, gifts and souvenirs.
