Join The Mowbray and Victoria in Neepsend for a joy-filled Festive Festival.

The Festive Festival is a cosy, twinkling candlelit hive of all things beautiful and delicious to ease you into the season most effortlessly. A fun and friendly day of Christmas shopping, coffee sipping, feasting, indulging in a Christmas cocktail or two and roaming and relaxing through two beautiful spaces.

Buy gifts, lovely little bits for your home, beautiful things to wear and styling for your festive table to really get you in the mood for celebrating this most magic time of the year.

The venue's Whirlow Farm Firs have been decked out with gorgeous paper art and heritage baubles. And at Victoria, Japanese artist Shino aka SANPO has created the magical festive scenes on the window panes in The Clubhouse and The Chapel.
