These open studios are a great chance to support independent designer-makers and pick up unique Christmas gifts that you won't find on the high street. With more than 165 designers taking part, there's bound to be something here for your loved ones, including furniture, lighting, jewellery, fashion accessories, clothing, ceramics, silverware and tree decorations. Plus of course lots of seasonal activities and treats, including live music, a winter petals workshop for children with jewellery maker Clara Green, and the chance to share a mulled wine and mince pies with some of the makers.
