by Karen Rollins Nov 14, 2022
It is that time of year again when we start thinking about what to buy friends and family for Christmas and fill up the fridge and cupboards with treats and goodies.
Buying local is always a good idea to support the island’s economy and small business owners. You are also likely to find presents and food items that are unique and have been lovingly crafted and handmade.
Several Christmas markets are already planned for November and December so you can get organised well before the big day – here is a comprehensive list of the ones we’ve found, along with some regular farmers’ markets.
