THE popular Christmas market at Gayle Mill returns for two days this December thanks to Makers Market organisers Anne Barden and Emma Trussler of Swaledale.
The Makers Market and Vintage Christmas Fair from 10am to 4pm on Saturday, December 11 and Sunday, December 12, will feature cards, hand-made soaps and candles, Christmas decorations, Nepali fashion, vintage collectibles, clothing and accessories, home fragrance, and bath and body goods.
Ms Trussler has described Gayle Mill, near Hawes in Wensleydale, as an exciting new venue for future events. It was built in 1784 and is the oldest unaltered mill building in the UK.
Its third and final turbine now generates electricity for the National Grid when there is water in Gayle Beck.
Owned by Cultura Trust, it re-opened to the public earlier this year following work to make the building safe and easier to operate.
