Avoid the mad last-minute rush to find presents in the week before Christmas and instead plan a more thoughtful excursion to the Handmade Christmas Fair, where there will be one-of-a-kind pieces made by independent designers, crafters, hobbyists and food and drink connoisseurs. As well as hundreds of stalls there will be demonstrations, plus crafty workshops to take part in. To peruse the brochure, visit www.handmadechristmas.co.uk.
