National Trust Christmas craft and food fairs around Devon

Festive crafts, gifts and food will be the flavour of the season at some National Trust properties in Devon. This November and December there is a programme of festive craft and food fairs to help prepare for the season. The historical houses will be the backdrop for a series of events that will showcase some of the best local food, drink, arts and crafts.
