00:00Bath Christmas Market has officially opened its doors today. Let's find out what this
00:05market has to offer.
00:07Hi, I'm Vicky from Pink Blind Mango and I design and make handcrafted jewellery. So
00:14it's all made from polymer clay, like this one, and it's very lightweight and I try to
00:21make my jewellery with sterling silver posts and hooks. But also I am very passionate about
00:29sustainability so I also use recycled silver as much as possible. And some of my best selling
00:35pieces, my favourite pieces, I'll show you. So I've handcrafted this from resin, it's
00:40a sage jewellery set and this is recycled silver. And each dot of this colour is applied
00:47by hand and mixed by hand so it takes about a week to make these products. But yeah, they're
00:52my favourite and I think these are a perfect gift because it's in a beautiful gift box
00:57as well.
00:58Can you tell us a bit about the products you offer?
01:01So it's all homemade fudge made in Bradford-on-Avon, which is like 15 minutes down the road. This
01:07is probably our fourth or fifth year doing the Bath Christmas Market. And yeah, so it's
01:12really our small family run business and we've won a few great taste awards for some of our
01:16flavours.
01:18And I paint woodland wildlife and my whippets.
01:22Can you tell us a bit more about your store and the products you offer?
01:26Yeah, so they are all sustainable, so it's paper and wood products and they are all handmade
01:33by myself.
01:34So what we're doing, or what we do, is predominantly lemonade. It's all natural, it's all steel,
01:42it's just a really good natural soft drink. We do seven different flavours, we use all
01:49the real ingredients, good ingredients as well. Yeah, it's just that basically and they're
01:53really good for mixing as well if you're sort of into your cocktails, things like that.
01:58What we've got here, we've got some aprons for adults and children, we've also got tea
02:03towels, we've got some Christmas designs as well. We've got cards, lots of scrunchies
02:10as you can see in here. We've got silk ones, we've got cotton ones and we've got a soft
02:16fabric one also. So we've got lots of different things for lots of different people.
02:20So we're based in the Quantock Hills in Somerset and we make apple juice, so we pick and press
02:26the apples ourselves and we do a really Christmassy one which is our chai spiced apple juice,
02:32which is apple juice with cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, black pepper and ginger included.
02:37So it makes a really nice non-alcoholic alternative for Christmas, there's no added sugars or
02:42anything so it's really healthy. We also do one with root ginger, one with beetroot and
02:47a plain apple as well. My name is Jules, I work for Dorothy House Hospice. We're here
02:52for the whole of Bath Christmas Market, basically promoting our products, our body care and
02:57our home fragrance range called Ubiety. It was made specifically for the hospice, which
03:03covers Bath, North East Somerset and Wiltshire and all the profits from the sale of our products
03:07go back to the hospice. It's a great place to get your Christmas presents, all the products
03:12are vegan friendly, they're cruelty free, there's no nasties in anything, it's made
03:16by the same company that make the Bramley and Cow Shed, so they really are lovely products
03:20and we've got some amazing discounts, discounts you can't get online at the moment. So I'd
03:24say if you are coming to Bath, come and find us, we're behind the Thermace Bar and we'd
03:28love to see you. So that's Ubiety from Dorothy House Hospice.
