Holiday shopping doesn’t need to mean dragging yourself to the mall or clicking through endless pages of online offerings. One of Massachusetts’ most historic spots will be holding a cozy outdoor market this year and you won’t want to miss it.
Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming pop-up holiday market at Hancock Shaker Village.
A pop-up market is coming to Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield this December. You couldn’t ask for a more scenic spot to shop than this historic working farm.
This market is the perfect place to shop for the holidays (or treat yourself). Vendors will be selling handmade products like soaps, teas, and decorations.
This year’s market will be entirely outdoors to allow for social distancing. It’s a great excuse to don your most festive sweater and fill a thermos with hot chocolate.
Besides the market, you can also pop into the Shaker Mercantile store for additional goodies like recipe books, handmade decor, and traditional foods.
Shopping isn’t the only thing to enjoy at this event. You can take part in a scavenger hunt that will take you all around the farm on a search for architectural treasures.
You can also visit with the farm’s animals and watch a live blacksmithing demo. Don’t forget to say hello to Veruca, their 1,500-pound pig!
The Hancock Shaker Farm pop-up market will be held on December 12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Don’t miss it!
You can find out more about checking out this sweet holiday market by visiting the Hancock Shaker Village website. Looking to sign up as a vendor? They’re still accepting applications!
