Things to do this week: Springfolk Market, Paranormal Caves and a Brand New Vineyard Cafe!

Morning! A free market in an ex-warehouse on Sunday with 45 independents, street food and someone who will paint your dog. The rest of your wallet's week is also looking fairly busy.

Elsewhere, there's a paranormal investigation at the City of Caves on Saturday night, a brand new vineyard cafe that just opened, and a pottery workshop at a plant shop on Thursday if you fancy making something with your hands. Book that one ahead, spaces are limited.

SCRUMPTIOUS SCOOP

🍷 - Wolds Wine Estate Vineyard Cafe - Breakfast, Sunday Roasts and Your Own Award-Winning Wine on the Side!
📍- Wolds Wine Estate
⏰ - 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
📷 - @woldswineestate

A brand new cafe that opened this week, sitting inside a working vineyard and cider orchard with panoramic views across the estate. Full breakfasts, sandwiches, cheese and charcuterie boards, and coffee from Stewart's Roasters. The full menu lands Friday 10th, afternoon tea from the same day, and the first Sunday roast is on the 12th.

Walk-ins welcome, dogs welcome, kids meals available. If you've been looking for a reason to leave the house, this is a fairly convincing one.

ACTIVITY ALLEY

👻 - Paranormal Investigation at the City of Caves - If You've Ever Wanted to Spend the Night Underground!
📍- City of Caves
📅 - Sat 11th Apr
⏰ - 9:00 PM - 2:00 AM
🎟️ - £55pp (deposit option available)
📷 - @s.g.p_paranormal

Over 500 sandstone caves beneath the city, dating back to 1250. Medieval tanneries, air raid shelters, prisons, and according to quite a few people, something that hasn't left.

You'll be down there until 2am with torches and ghost-hunting equipment, which is either your idea of a great Saturday or an excellent way to find out.

FRESH EXPERIENCES

🪴- Plant Pot Workshop at The Watered Garden - Make Something, Get a Bit Muddy, Take It Home!
📍- The Watered Garden
📅 - Thu 9th Apr
⏰ - 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
🎟️ - £39pp
📷 - @halloceramics @thewateredgarden

A two-hour pottery workshop inside a plant shop, which is either a very good idea or a very dangerous one for your debit card. You'll make a ceramic plant pot from scratch, no experience needed, and it gets professionally fired and sent back to you afterwards.

Hosted by Hallo Ceramics. Wear something you don't mind getting muddy. Ages 18+ only.
