The Fabulous Places Summer Food & Gift fair has now finished and we had a wonderful time! The weather was fabulous and the venue (Derby’s Roundhouse) was amazing!

My highlights had to be BitterSweet Handmade Chocolates from Melbourne in Derbyshire. I could have spent all day sampling the wonders on this particular stall.

Another recommendation has to be Brockleby’s – Specialist suppliers of Rare and Minority Breed meats. We bought a Wild Beaver Pie, which isn’t made from Beavers, rather beef from the Vale of Belvoir. It was absolutely delicious and I’d recommend it to anyone.

It was a busy weekend so there’s wasn’t that much time to take photos but here’s a few of our fellow stallholders.

My children adored the Squeak Gift & Party stall which sold a range of practical products such as baking supplies, mini kits, books, card making and present wrapping.

Next to our stall was Helen of Big Green Tree who sells luxury handmade bath, body and beauty care items.

Finally a stall I really liked HWR Designs, again another Helen who makes teddies, small birds and ducks out of fabric as well as a range of kitchen and home accessories.

So a fun (and tiring) weekend was had by all!
