Hey folks! A change of wall art has added a flash of colour to The Barn to combat the dreary conditions outside. Rebecca Swain - Artist and Sarnia Shores - Gabi Nobes Artist have some stunning work on display! Have to be seen to be appreciated, for sure. CBX

Hey folks! Summer Ray has handed the market over to his brother, Autumn Al and guess what? He's moved the market indoors for the rest of this year!
Pop in and see us between 0900 and 1600, this Saturday and check out where you will find all the seasonal gifts and ideas you'll need for the coming months!
We'll all look forward to greeting you at Forest Methodist Church Hall. Take care for now. CBX

Hey Folks! Saturday is Market Day!

Hey folks! Saturday is market day! So, come on up to Sausmarez Manor, where great things are happening! The weather is looking perfect, so why not make it your mission to come and see for yourself?

Today, not only do we have Plant Heritage Guernsey and Grow Limited selling an incredible array of amazing seasonal plants and flowers, but we also have, for the first time, a selection of local, artisan cheese.

Adding that to the talents of local creatives, photographers, and designers, the market looks set to be a good one.

We also have live music from 11.00 - 13:00 from local legend Mark Guppy. Meat (from Cobo Butchers) and freshly grown produce. What's not to like?

The Market starts at 0900, and due to other events at The Manor today, a morning visit is recommended but not essential. Patois Tea Room, The Barn Gift Shop and Gallery, Duck feeding, Train rides, Pitch and Putt, and Guernsey Cans Coppersmiths are all open for business, too. So, if you have been meaning to check them out, then here's a great opportunity.

Remember, folks! Saturday is market day, and Summer Ray's Community Market is fast becoming the social hub and retail experience it has set out to be. Additional parking is available in the field directly opposite The Manor, too.

Join us today. We're really looking forward to greeting you.

Hey folks! This event has been cancelled due to poor weather. Apologies! Next week is set to be another step forward for our market, though..... So please watch this space. CBX

Hey folks! Regrettably, tomorrow's market has been cancelled due to the forecast of adverse weather conditions. It's a shame that after last week's picture-perfect Market, with many more stalls and visitors, this decision has had to be taken.
However, fret not, for next week promises to be 'bumper', with the ever-popular Heritage Plant Sale, some live music (from Mark guppy), and many of Guernsey's finest creatives all on hand to keep the momentum going, despite the weather having temporarily halted it this week.
Sorry for any disappointment caused. CBX

Hey Folks! I hope you are all well and have been enjoying the run of beautiful weather. It's been great to see so many of you over the past weeks.
I am having a day off today, so therefore, The Barn and Pitch and Putt - Guernsey will be closed.
There is no medical or other reason for this, so please do not be concerned. It is simply a well earned day away from the shop.
Tomorrow, I'll be back.
Thanks for your understanding and sorry for any inconvenience. CBX
