About this event
Back by popular demand, the March Hare Collective craft fair is returning to the Gallery at Ickworth at the end of November.
The March Hare Collective supports local, suffolk-based artists, makers and crafters. The craft fair is a fantastic opportunity for this creative community to showcase their art, and for you to grab some last minute Christmas gifts.
Normal admission applies for Ickworth Estate, but no additional payment is required to visit the fair. The Gallery is located on the top floor of the West Wing. There is lift access if required.
The event is running between 10am - 4pm across the weekend.
About the Venue
A Georgian Italianate palace in an idyllic English landscape.
Ickworth's impressive Rotunda - a magnificent showcase commissioned by the 4th Earl of Bristol to house his priceless treasures collected on tours around Europe in the 18th-century - is an architectural marvel.
For 200 years, the eccentric, and sometimes infamous, Hervey family added to the treasures inside and out, also creating the earliest Italianate garden in England. The exquisite craftmanship of the finest Huguenot silversmiths is breathtaking, and you can follow the family's history through outstanding portraits by Gainsborough, Hogarth and Reynolds.
After walking in the tranquil parkland, experience 1930s domestic service in the restored servants' basement, sharing the real stories and memories of former staff who kept this country estate running.
Ickworth offers a delicious selection of food throughout the year. Whether you're coming just for a meal, or to make a whole day out our West Wing, Squash Court Cafe and Porter Lodge Cafe offer a mouth-watering choice of hot food, snacks and a great cup of coffee.
After a busy day enjoying our special place, make sure you find that special gift or memento of your visit. Browse our West Wing Gift Shop and Plant & Garden Shop, for seasonal and inspirational gifts.
