A HISTORIC stately home will host a spring market this May.

The Holker Spring Market, at Holker Hall & Gardens in Cark-in-Cartmel, will bring together a fine selection of home, food, garden and gift exhibitors set in the bustling courtyard and piazza.

"Planning is well underway and we’ve had exhibitor enquiries already so we encourage businesses to get in touch early if they would like to book a stall," said head of visitor services at Holker Jillian Rouse.

It takes place on May 20-21.

Gates open at 10.30am to 5pm. Entry is £2.50 per adult and includes parking.
