Christmas shopping destination with festive huts opens at farm

Posted by Admin November 4, 2024 Shopping

The festive shopping destination is open now at the Goat Shed in Honingham, located just off the A47 between Dereham and Norwich.

There are more than 15 huts and displays filled with gifts, hampers, decorations, treats and tipples.

It is open seven days a week until December 24 and it follows the same hours as the farm shop.

Due to the recent expansion of the Goat Shed, with a new butchery, bakery and extended deli counter, the Christmas Shed has relocated upstairs.

There are plans in the future to introduce a lift but this year it is only accessible by stairs, with the main farm shop and restaurant on ground level.

Sam Steggles, who runs the business with his wife Caroline, said: “The Christmas Shed was born out of our customers looking for something new and exciting over the festive season.

“Each year, it has proved very popular with both our regular customers and those making the specific journey to come and see us.

“It allows us to have fun and create our own little magical space, while also being able to celebrate the vast number of local and artisan producers we are so lucky to have on our doorstep and from surrounding areas.”

Christmas pre-orders for the butchery and deli opened this week and you can pop in and pick up an order form.

This includes free-range turkeys from Great Grove, a small family farm based in Norfolk, and the Goat Shed’s own award-winning Wensum White and Norfolk Mardler goat’s cheeses.

A whole host of events are coming up, including wreath-making and food and drink tastings – find out more and book (if required) at goat-shed.co.uk/events
