We've been inundated with animals in Old Bolsover Yard since the arrival of Fox and Stitch and their pop-up shop. They are with us at Old Bolsover Yard until Saturday. As an added bonus, they're giving 10% discount on each and every purchase!

After the success of The Courtyard Programme 2019 we have another date for your diary. On Saturday 14th September we are delighted that the Salvation Army Band will be with us in the courtyard from 10am - 12pm. 

Do you remember the Salvation Army in Bolsover?

This is a fabulous opportunity to come and listen to the band and talk with the team about your memories and to join in with the music and songs. Why not bring along any photos you may have?

There will be a stall of fun activities for all ages - children and adults - to participate in as well.

Until next time.....

It was all systems go Sunday morning as Old Bolsover Yard Makers set up for the day at Renishaw Hall and Gardens Food and Craft Fair.

We were fortunate that the rain held off for the day but unfortunately our marquee was a little worse for wear after the winds took hold.
Molly Felicity Designs, Ethos Upcycling, Chunky Oak Designs, Harriet and Lola's Candles, and M&E Woodcraft put on a show of the different products available. It was nice to see some familiar faces come to visit us at the event and we all had a super time telling everyone about Old Bolsover Yard and what can be found when you visit our Craft Courtyard. If you weren't able to make it to Renishaw you can see all of the wonderful products in the Gallery at Old Bolsover Yard. We are open Monday - Saturday 10am - 3pm.

Fox and Stitch Handmade Children's Clothing Boutique was born earlier this year. Clothing designed for children aged 0-5 years are made to be practical, easy to wear and to care for, yet most importantly - FUN - Clothes for Life's Adventures!

Only the best quality fabrics, cotton, cotton jersey and french terry are used, in bold, bright colours to create the Scandinavian inspired designs. The majority of Fox and Stitch's clothing is unisex with limited amounts of each fabric design leading to the lovely boutique style.

Vivien makes everything herself from her home studio but advertises and sells via social media, with a website going live soon. You'll often find Fox and Stitch trading at local markets which enables interaction with customers directly.

"I am excited to be holding my first ever pop up shop in Old Bolsover Yard. Although I will be busy making I am looking forward to meeting lots of lovely people and, of course, my children's clothing range will be available to purchase!" - Vivien, Fox and Stitch

More updates from Old Bolsover Yard next week

I'm not sure where the time went yesterday but I didn't manage to find the time to post as usual. I will try to resume normal service next week. In other news.............................

We had anticipated another event this Saturday but unfortunately Inspirations Theatre Company have had to postpone this time - we do hope they will be able to join us next year instead.
Our Courtyard Programme for 2019 has now come to an end but do keep checking back for news of future events as we will be putting on a number of events in the coming months, with Christmas only 20 weeks away you'll need us to help inspire you with all that Christmas Shopping!
