The traditional market, being held in the school hall, will bring together talented designers, artists, craftspeople and food and drink producers on Sunday, November 27.
Barney Friends, the parents’ group that organises the annual event, say the Hogwarts atmosphere of the school adds to the festive feel and the magical ambience as shoppers visit the stalls selling gifts, fashion, tasty treats and Christmas decorations.
Seasonal refreshments will be available throughout the day, along with a luxury Christmas hamper raffle and various festive themed competition stands.
The market is open from 10.30am to 3pm and admission is free.
Among the food producers are Woodlands Home Bakery with jams, chutneys and baking; Barnard Castle’s own Moody Baker with organic, Fairtrade breads and Christmas puddings; unique festive cakes from Traditional and Scrumptious; and small batch, handmade chocolates from Truly Tempting Chocolate.
For keen cooks Garth Cottage Herbs are bringing specialist herbs, oils and vinegars, The Swaledale Cheese Company will be sharing a variety of specialist cheeses made in the dale to traditional recipes, Bleikers Smokehouse will have smoked fish for every day and special treats, and there will be beer brewed in Gainford to take away.
