Two free three-day Christmas craft and food fairs at Eden Court in Inverness, bringing together Scottish makers, artists and food and drink producers.

Exclusively Highlands, a small family-run events business from the Black Isle, holds two Christmas fairs each November at Eden Court, the Inverness theatre complex that includes the old Bishop's Palace on the banks of the River Ness.

All exhibitors are based in Scotland. Expect woodwork, ceramics, textiles, tweed gifts, jewellery, prints, candles and natural skincare, alongside fudge and tablet, baking, preserves, cheeses, charcuterie and game, and gin, rum, craft beer and local cider, with artisan street food on site.

Entry is free. The organisers usually publish the exhibitor list on social media shortly before each fair.
