A huge new spring market is heading to a hit Suffolk events venue for the first time in 2024.
Stonham Barns Park has announced that an Easter Craft Market will be pitching up on the site on Saturday, March 30 and Sunday, March 31.
Nothing of this sort has been held at the campsite and retail village before.
Stallholders will be selling a range of local and crafty wares, but there will also be the opportunity for visitors to the event to get stuck in.
In the Aspal Theatre, there will be a make-your-own-crafts area with pottery demonstrations, and a chance to have-a-go on the potter’s wheel, paint your own pottery, and various other crafts for visitors to try.

Essex-based YouTuber Corrine Bradd, from Crafts Beautiful Magazine, has been confirmed for the show and will be doing live demonstrations.
The event has been organised by Stonham Barns Park Events Team in association with Laura Mackley of Eastern Pottery Supplies, which was recently launched by Ms Mackley after she decided to turn a hobby into a business.
Ms Mackley said: "The Easter Craft Market is for anyone who is captivated by creativity and, with so many people now hooked on hobbies, we are hoping to draw in the crowds.

"Whether your interest is in drawing, painting, macrame, knitting, crocheting, textiles, glass, metal or pottery, there really will be something here for everyone.
"Stonham Barns Park retail village is becoming a hub for crafters and hobbyists and that makes perfect sense as Suffolk is the ideal spot for inspiration and creativity.
"We look forward to a weekend of new discoveries and networking!"
Live music from local bands will form the soundtrack to the shopping event, and popular food vendors from around the county will be serving delicious treats.
Parking and entry will be free for those looking to browse the market and the shopping village for the day, and no tickets are necessary for entry.
