About
fifteen minutes from our accommodation, there was a place called Arreton Barns,
I saw a sign that said something about gifts and crafts and my curiosity was piqued. We stopped for about an hour to look around
on the way to somewhere else and found it to be a pleasant detour. The place is a mix of shops and craft studio’s
including for glass, leather products and jewellery making. There is a medieval village feel including a village
pond.
There
is a museum you can pay to enter which we didn’t end up having time to look at,
but I headed instead first to the glass studio.
I really enjoyed looking at the colourful and eye catching glass creations on display and especially the tiny glass
figurines they had available to buy.
The
whole area was full of displays, figures and interesting objects to keep the
children interested, and we went over to see if we could see fish and ducks in
the pond.
It
was a nice little detour and a handy place to look for gifts to take home with
us. What caught our eye was the notice
about a fireworks display. We ended up coming back that night to watch the
fireworks. They seem to draw a good
crowd and were lots of fun with actors setting the scene before the actual
fireworks started. The little ones really enjoyed the display despite the cold.
