An evening at Meadow Croft German Market

Posted: 1 Oct 2021

Following its continued success, we recently launched our 2021 German Market & Christmas Fair. Inspired by the traditional German Markets, you will be captivated by the sights, sounds and smells of the market, with irresistible seasonal treats and unique yuletide gifts and decorations.

Many of you have been asking, we've been busy behind the scenes planning and we are finally pleased to announce our German Market Evenings are back!

You can enjoy the German Market by night and discover over 30 stalls each adorned with handpicked, high-quality artisan products including carved wooden decorations, delicate glassware and baubles, traditional cuckoo clocks and Scandinavian gonks whilst the smells of Bratwurst, Gingerbread and Glühwein waft through.

At the heart of the Christmas Market, we will be serving lots of mouth-watering, specialist German festive foods scuh as Frankfurter, Sauerkraut, Waffles, Apple Strudel & Schokokusse which the whole family can enjoy.

This year we will be opening for two evenings - Thursday 4th November 2021 & Thursday 25th November 2021. You will get to choose between two entry times 6pm & 7:30pm. The Garden Centre & Restaurant will be open as normal during this event. Closing time will be 9pm.

As always tickets are per car parking space.

Car Parking Tickets are £5 and must be prebooked prior to the event. The parking ticket will be refunded against any purchase on the night! So plesae keep it safe and remember it on the night. No ticket - No entry.

Tickets are available on a first-come first-served basis and now available to purchase online or via the tills at Meadow Croft Garden Centre.

In addition to these two evenings, our German Market is open daily until 23rd December 2021. Free entry for all.

Tam's Top Tips to keep your house hydrangeas looking lovely

With a beautiful weekend forecasted we asked the plant team to pick their favourite plant available right now, they felt it was like being asked to choose their favourite child…..but they did anyway!
Louise chose a hardy gerbera (but snuck in a Bella fuchsia as well when I wasn’t looking), Lorna chose a beautiful Lilac. Tam is obviously staying in with her amazing three stemmed orchid. Kaye, went for 2 hydrangeas and Elaine went big with her cercis tree.
They all look wonderful, and the plants don’t look bad either.
