Christmas Market 2018
Our 2018 Christmas Market at Barton Marina was a huge success. We had thousands of people visit us over the 2 day event with queues of up to 2 miles along the A38.
We had a wide selection of stalls from traditional German sausages to unique gifts.
Saturday saw Gia October perform throughout the day and Sunday we welcomed Uttoxeter Brass Band.
Plans are already being made for our monthly markets starting April 2019 and special 2 day events throughout the year.
Italian Night
The Waterfront hosted the first Italian Night on Wednesday 21st November.
Every culture around the world has its own authentic cuisine, delicacies, and everyday food. Italy is no exception. In fact, Italian food is one of the most famous types of cuisine found around the world, often with a local adjustment made.
Antonio created a 6 course tasting menu from Minestrone Soup to Cod Livornese with Risotto Pear & Gorgonzola, Crespelle alla Fiorentina to Torta della Nonna.
We are planning our next pop up Italian Night in 2019. Keep an eye out for more details in early 2019.

Alana & Matthew Youds 13.10.18
We got married here last weekend (13.10.18) and I can’t express how good it was.
We have had so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was, how good the food was and how smoothly everything ran. People have even gone as far as saying it’s the best wedding they have been to!
Bronwyn and her team did an amazing job from start to finish. She was always quick to give me answers on things, kept me updated through out, helped to resolve any little issues I had and was very very accommodating with both ours and our guests needs and requests. On the day the change over of the room was seamless and people couldn’t believe how quickly it was done.
If you are looking for a perfect venue for your perfect big day then look no further! Absolutely amazing!
