Northwood House are delighted to announce that they will be hosting a series of weekend markets in the Park throughout August.  A fantastic selection of Isle of Wight businesses will be taking a pitch in the beautiful Park grounds selling everything from boutique art and craft to local produce starting from Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd August.

The outdoor market will meet all current Covid-secure guidelines to ensure the safety of all the traders and visitors alike, allowing everyone great peace of mind while enjoying a boutique shopping experience.  The Northwood House Tea Garden and Lawn Bar will also be open during August weekends, giving visitors the chance to stay a while and enjoy a fantastic cream tea or glass of Pimm’s on the lawns of the house while visiting.  There will also be performances on Saturday’s by the Island Based Horsebox Theatre Company, making for great mix of outdoor activity for everyone to enjoy.

What type of stalls will be there?

Local art  *  Homemade crafts  *  Plants & garden related retail  *  High quality retail (home/gift wear, clothing, pet products)

Local produce for take home consumption (fruit/veg/preserves/sweets/cheese/packaged biscuits etc)

A selection of invited charity/community stalls

Free access to the Northwood House Tea Garden and Lawn Bar for refreshments.

 

What about inclement weather?

In true British spirit the market takes place on all but the worst weather days.  Having the market over two weekend days helps spread the weather risk for customers and stall holders.  We reserve the right to cancel the market up to an hour before opening if it looks like the weather is going to stay foul all day and we will announce that via social media and at entry signage.

We reserve the right to open or close the market earlier or later if the weather or other factors make this most sensible option. We know some weekends will have some wet weather, but we can only do our best to beat it and keep the offer consistent.
