Holden Clough has expanded so much and what they have achieved is stunning. Went to their Christmas market on Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed it. Something a bit different. Love the massive fire pit, the Shepherds Hut for food and the many beautiful areas of Christmas decorations. Gorgeous fairy lights gave the place a magical feel. Always someone on hand too to give advice about plants etc.
