The college\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/zoo\/\">mini zoo<\/a>, complete with Father Christmas, is also open for the weekend, giving families the opportunity to enjoy two festive events.<\/p>\n<p>The market is being supported by over 50 South Cheshire members of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/pages\/etsysc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Etsy<\/a>, the online community which enables crafters and designers to sell their handmade or vintage goods. A wide range of handmade gifts will be on offer, such as sculptures, paintings, prints, clothing, jewellery, cards and Christmas decorations.<\/p>\n<p>There will also be edible presents for sale including dairy and bakery items made in Reaseheath\u2019s industry standard Food Centre, and small xmas trees and seasonal containers from the college\u2019s horticultural department.<\/p>\n<p>The Christmas market is being organised with the help of the college\u2019s event management students and coincides with Small Business Saturday, a national day celebrating independent entrepreneurs. It follows a very successful inaugural event last year which attracted over 1,000 visitors.<\/p>\n<p>This year the market is being held in Reaseheath\u2019s Centre for Horticulture, the Environment and Sustainable Technology and will run from 10am to 4pm. There is no charge for entry or for parking, and the first 50 adults to arrive will receive a goody bag.<\/p>\n<p>Savvy shoppers can take a look at what stallholders have to offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/pages\/etsysc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and pre-order and pick up their purchases at the market, avoiding postage costs.<\/p>\n<p>Reaseheath\u2019s mini zoo is also open, giving families the chance to meet Father Christmas in his grotto and to see how the animals are preparing for the festive season. The college\u2019s collection includes ring tailed lemurs, meerkats, spider monkeys, cotton top tamarins, birds of prey, rabbits, guinea pigs and a variety of fish, reptiles, amphibians and insects.<\/p>\n<p>There is an entry fee for this attraction.
