The good people at Bite magazine have put together a Festive Fancies Xmas Fair which will take place in Edinburgh’s Counting House on Saturday 22 November from 1pm to 5pm.
Among many others, the stallholders confirmed so far include Thinking Chocolate, Edinburgh Larder Bistro and Hammond Charcuterie, who make gourmet cured meats, terrines and salamis from Scottish rare breed pork and game.
You can see the full run down of producers and buy tickets from here. The ticket price includes a goody bag to take away.
Guests will be treated to samples of all the suppliers’ gourmet treats, and will also have an opportunity to buy produce on the day.
Edinburgh Gin are sponsoring the event. As well as providing everyone with a welcome G and T as they arrive, they will be running tastings throughout the afternoon. Guests will also be able to sample the newest addition to their range range of flavours: rhubarb and ginger.
In the private bar, Bacco Wines will be running tastings throughout the afternoon, matching some fine Italian wines with delicious panettone.
Talented chef Russell Smith of Russell Up Catering will be running food demos, sharing ideas and tips on how to plate up easy but elegant dishes over the festive period.
It looks like a handy way to stock up on Christmas gifts while grazing and sipping gin – pretty much the ideal way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
