Nestled in the heart of Derbyshire, Haddon Hall is often described as one of the most beautiful medieval houses in England. Its rich history dates back over 900 years, and its walls echo with tales of heritage, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty. As Paguro Upcycle joins Haddon Hall’s renowned Mercatum Christmas Artisan Market this festive season, we’re thrilled to celebrate the historic charm of this breathtaking location while sharing our sustainable and handmade creations with visitors.
