Catherine Connor, Co-owner of Lovingly Artisan Bakery, remarked, “We absolutely love this time of year at the market, it’s about more than just food, it’s about coming together, sharing stories, and creating traditions around the table. For us, Christmas is about simple pleasures: the smell of freshly baked bread, the joy of discovering the perfect pairing, and the chance to give something truly thoughtful and artisan-made. Events like this are such a lovely way for people to meet the makers, taste what we’re so passionate about, and feel inspired to bring a little magic into their festive celebrations.”
