Christmas through the ages at Cogges Manor Farm

Festive shopping with two barns and a farmyard full of over 60 local or regional independent stalls, beautiful artisan crafts and unique gifts plus seasonal produce and hand-made crafts from Cogges’ volunteers; accessories and homewares, from ceramics to cakes and other delicious delights, fashion and hand knits, to gin and sparkling wine, beautiful handmade wreaths, decorations with a difference and lots more!
