Yule Holiday Market - at Vinland Meads
Vinland Meads Yule Holiday Shopping Market
Saturday, November 21st | 10 AM–2 PM
Vinland Meads | Murchison, Texas
The holiday season is coming to Murchison! 🎄
Join us at Vinland Meads for our Yule Holiday Shopping Market, a morning and afternoon dedicated to shopping local, supporting small businesses, and finding gifts that have a little more story behind them.
We are bringing together local makers, artisans, craftsmen, growers, and small businesses for an outdoor holiday market right here at the Meadery. We already have vendors signing up, and we'll be announcing them as we get closer to the event.
Instead of another gift pulled from a warehouse shelf, come see what your neighbors make, grow, bake, build, and create.
🎁 Holiday Shopping Market
We'll have 20 vendor spaces around the Meadery featuring locally made goods, handmade items, art, crafts, foods, gifts, and more.
Come wander the market, meet the people behind the products, and knock a few names off that Christmas list while keeping your holiday dollars close to home.
☕ Free Hot Chocolate
We'll be serving FREE hot chocolate during the market. Bring the kids, grab a cup, and enjoy the day with us.
🐴 Draft Horses
We're also bringing in the Draft Horses
These gentle giants will be set up beside the market, giving kids and adults alike a chance to get up close with some truly impressive horses.
🦅 Falconry with Hays Manor
Our Very Own - Hays Manor will also be joining us for a discussion and demonstration of the ancient art of falconry.
Learn about birds of prey, the relationship between falconer and bird, and a tradition that stretches back thousands of years.
A Holiday Day in Murchison
This isn't just about Vinland Meads.
Our hope is to create a day that encourages people to come to Murchison, shop local, visit our local businesses, meet our neighbors, and enjoy a little holiday cheer together.
Come early, bring the family, do some Christmas shopping, grab some hot chocolate, meet a draft horse, learn about falconry, and then step inside Vinland Meads for some food and mead.
Small town. Local people. Local gifts. Stronger community.
