A Christmas event in Carlisle is set to bring together over 15 local businesses.
Quirky Christmas at The Fratry will take place in The Fratry Hall above Carlisle Cathedral between 10am and 4pm on Friday, November 29, and Saturday, November 30, and will feature 16 local businesses.
The event falls under the wider umbrella of the local business collective Quirky Eclectica which was created by crafters Ashley Walker, from All Things Nice By Ashley, and Tracey Lindsay, from Manor Barn Organics, in 2021.
Ahead of the festive event, Ashley was on hand to express her excitement at bringing local businesses together at Christmastime.
She said: "We are so excited to be back in our favourite venue and to be hosting Quirky Christmas at The Fratry for its second year.
"It's so lovely to bring some local makers together and everyone has worked really hard to bring lots of unique gift ideas.
"It'll be a gorgeously festive Christmas Fayre and the perfect place to Christmas shop and support your local small businesses at the same time."
