Our stall holders
We support local businesses and brands with a conscience - artisans who create or resell handcrafted products and services and are passionate about using sustainable sources and promoting fair trade. We have written a short introduction for each stall so that you can read about them before, during or after you meet them. We know you will discover wonderful and unique presents for yourself, family and friends.

Agapesophia
Lovely warm cashmere scarves, yak shawls and wool blankets, colourful woven bags and purses with leather accents and custom made tie die clothing - all hand made in Nepal. Sophie has created a boutique brand with a difference. For every product sold, a percentage goes to help communities in Nepal, following the 2015 earthquake.
-
Driftwood Art
Handcrafted pictures, sculptures and miniatures made from driftwood and pebbles found on beaches along the south coast. In some of the artworks, ammonites or starfish are placed on the beach to represent the coast from which the driftwood was found. These objects make unique and beautiful gifts. All are handmade by Shelly Knight, a talented local artist.
-
FeltedbySteph
Luxuriously warm, 100% natural, handmade felted sheep wool products from Steph’s own Herdwick Suffolk ewes. Her product range includes rugs, seat pads, dog beds and festive Christmas baubles. In this photo Steph’s felt looks rather like raspberry ripple ice cream - very fresh and original! Is this a one-off design? We will find out at the fair…
-
House of Raj
Gorgeous, colourful, unique products made from sustainable resources and up-cycled materials where possible - all handcrafted in India. Natasha has made it her mission to support Indian artisans who create beautiful products that also support ethical practices. She knows the families personally and ensures that they set their own prices for their comfort and wellbeing.
-
Tucca Swim
Partnered with Aquafil, Tucca makes their swimwear from ECONYL® yarn, a 100% regenerated nylon fibre made from nylon waste otherwise polluting the Earth. Fabric is sourced from Italy and swimwear is made close to home in London. We love their fresh and colourful designs as well as their signature Multiway Bikini™ which takes flexibility to a whole new level with an interchangeable bikini top and bottom.

Westerlands Gift Vouchers
Experiences are fun! Time spent in nature is wonderfully restorative. Gifting an ‘experience in nature’ is a thoughtful and sustainable present.
With your choice of voucher you can buy the experience you think they would like best. All our gift vouchers are interchangeable by the recipient so this is simply a way for you to personalise your gift and choose an amount that fits an experience.
Buy your gift vouchers at our stall.
-
Equestrian
This gift will bring joy to any horse-loving recipient and a surprise to someone who has never ridden a horse before. We offer a wide range of rides to suit all levels from a beginner, riding a pony on a lead around the farm, to experienced riders who want to escape up on the South Downs. This experience is unforgettable.
-
WildSpa
The gift of a wellbeing experience at our WildSpa is a fabulous choice. We have a wide range of Rose Room treatments and therapies from experienced holistic practitioners. Your gift could also include an hour at our Sauna & Plunge. If you think your recipient would love to have a weekly sauna then a monthly membership might be the perfect choice!
-
WildFit
The perfect gift for someone who wants to get fit but doesn’t know where to start. WildFit is our new outdoor gym and a friendly place for everyone to come and do a bit of training, whatever their standard or goals. Whether your recipient is a honed athlete or a fitness enthusiast, it’s the best place to kickstart their fitness journey or get a sweat on out in nature.
-
Weekender
This is a wonderful gift for city dwellers who need to escape into nature and be nourished by it. A weekend away in an off-grid cabin or hut to enjoy the sights and sounds of the country is something we highly recommend. We can’t think of anyone who would exchange this for anything else (well… actually perhaps a WildSpa membership!)
-
Westerlands
If you aren’t sure which experience your recipient would like best then this gift voucher keeps things simple and doesn’t make any assumptions. If you need some guidance for the most appropriate amount we would be happy to help as well as give you some advance information about the experiences we are planning to add to our 2025 calendar.
Westerlands Honey
By choosing Westerlands Honey, you support sustainable farming practices that nurture biodiversity. Our farm is not just a home for bees, but a sanctuary for countless species that thrive here. Every jar of Westerlands Honey is infused with the fragrant wildflowers and herbs that grow on our land and captures a little piece of West Sussex that you can take home and enjoy or give as a gift.
