"Stanwick Lakes is a unique countryside attraction in the heart of the Nene Valley in Northamptonshire. It is a site which really does offer something for everyone: leisure opportunities, access to attractive countryside and abundant wildlife can all be found here. The Lakes are managed by Rockingham Forest Trust."
Welcome to Stanwick Lakes! This is a brand new venue for ATCF, but one that is very popular all year round with visitors. The visitor centre hasn't been open long and, as you can see from the photograph, it is quite dramatic. The surrounding lakes are beautiful whichever season you see them in.
Spaces: You may book for Saturdays, Sundays or both.
There are two types of space at Stanwick. Indoors or outdoors.
Outdoor spaces are different. The outdoor space is directly linked to the function room by glass doors and is on raised decking in the lea of the building. Outdoor spaces are approximately 2.5 metres square (which is the average size of a pop-up gazebo) and cost £25.00. We can now provide a gazebo for crafters who want to be outside, but not tables. The cost of the space with gazebo is £40.00 per day. Crafters wanting just an outdoor space (not using our gazebos) will need to provide their own cover. Everyone will be outdoors entirely at their own risk. Please note that if the weather becomes inclement there will not be room indoors for you.
Tables & Electricity
Tables
are supplied included the cost. They are standard trestle size, 6ft by
2ft. Chairs are also supplied, two to a table, but there are plenty of
spare chairs. Electricty can be supplied also included in the cost, and
sockets are well placed and plentiful. Please bring long gang leads
& extension leads if you require electricity.
Parking is FREE!
The visitor centre has it's own car park, which is free for crafters! Make sure you collect a token for the barrier at the end of the day.
Refreshments
I try to find time to bake before each craft fair so that there is sustenance to keep us going through busy periods, or just something highly calorific for quiet moments! I don't always manage to bake, but there will still be free tea & coffee for crafters in the kitchen area. It's self service, but please bring cups as there aren't any at Stanwick!
