That was so cute when you said "It's no picnic even for the family that invented the sandwich". 😄

I laughed at that too!

Omg I remember when Mapperton only had 3k subs, maybe even less. I enjoyed seeing Mr. and Mrs. Sandwich, they were so quietly elegant and passionate about their family history. And at the time, NO OTHER aristocratic houses had dedicated KZread channels, now I'm starting to see a few try. But it's just different! I love the Mapperton family, they're aristocratic but relatable, I was and always will be rooting for Julie. I hated that they canceled her show but now she's producing her own, so that was a blessing in disguise!

Thank you!!! WOW - amazing you remember that - that's exactly right - 3K subs about 2 years ago and lo and behold.. here we are! Yes, we were the first and there are a couple more on now but as you say completely different than what we're doing. Thank you for joining us here - every single Saturday xx Julie

Thank you for taking the time to stop by all the vendors and giving us a glimpse of their products. I enjoyed seeing all the nifty crafty things. Good job for supporting the local artists and businesses as well.

I certainly wish I had had the opportunity to come to your Christmas fair. I’m Canadian, and when I lived in England over 30 years ago, I went to the local stately home at Christmas for their fairs. And, I still remember them. This one looks fabulous, especially with the food on offer, too. Congrats for its success!! Cheers, Judy

Merry Christmas Julie, Luke, Caroline and John, Stephen and Claire and to the amazing staff!!!!! Beautiful ❤️! I wish I was there!!!!!! My homeland is calling me!!!!!

I have just realised, as I sit here with my cup of tea watching this episode, you guys always make me feel as though I’m sitting there with you talking ‘to me’, not ‘at me’. It’s nice, friendly and I find myself smiling and wanting to add my five pence worth here and there…even though I know you won’t hear me. Happy Christmas 🎄

holly is so jolly and fun give her a raise.

We agree! Holly is wonderful! x Julie

Hey I could live very happy in Maggies DowerHouse!

Growing up in the U.S., we definitely had many Christmas Bazaars as they were/are called, with lots of local crafts, baked goods, products.

Happy Holidays to Julie, Luke, your children,and the whole Mapperton family! Thank you for a 2022 full of great content across all ur channels!

I have to beg to differ…when I was growing up, in the United States, we always had Community Christmas fairs, bazaars…holiday gatherings… still do…nonetheless ..this was a lovely video…Merry Christmas 🎄

No picnic, even for the family that invented the sandwich! Clever!!

This is the perfect weekend event close to the holidays, especially with the tent! Everyone will be so happy to shop and stay dry rather than being out on a street and have to duck in and out of shops. WELL DONE!!

I was half-waiting for Hyacinth Bouquet (Bucket) to walk behind you in the last scene. Looking like a great event!

I love “word of the week”. What a wonderful event and kudos to Holly. What a trooper!

I am very happy it all went so well! You can see everyone worked hard to make this a success! Well done from Rebecca in Texas!

How fun! The energy, enthusiasm, cheerfulness, and good will toward all shines through!

Merry Christmas Julie from The Maine Artist Retreat on the southern coast of Maine. We love watching all your historic shows and the restoration of Mapperton. What a treat! We hope to visit Mapperton one day soon.

Before the pandemic a local museum here in Connecticut held similar Christmas fairs and they were LOVELY! It was so nice to be able to shop from and support local vendors rather than ordering online or going to a big box store, and really helped us get into the holiday spirit. Unfortunately they haven't re-started them but most of the churches have been holding their Christmas fairs/bazaars and they have a little bit of that feeling.

I just started watching this and can’t wait to see this! Maybe my hometown outside Chicago was different but we had a church Christmas bazaar at St. Andrews Episcopal church for years and it was so fun to see the handmade crafts, baked goods and games they would come up with! So this brings back delightful memories for me.

What a wonderful success on not such a wonderful day! Everything looks great and so beautifully displayed. Thanks for posting the names of the vendors as I will check them out. Hope tomorrow brings better weather and another successful day!

☮️♥️☀️🌹 Care About You! Hi Julie and Luke Beautiful day! You showed us the fabulous stalls at your estate for the Christmas fair and then you showed us all the things you're going to get the next day. Since you're showing us the vendor's table, shop along by showing us what you want, give it to the vendor and tell them you'll pick it up tomorrow, by going along to all the vendor's and spotting the things you like. They would of been more than happy to hold it for you until the next day, then all you would have to do is pay for it and pick it up. You would save a ton of time, by not having to do it all over again, maybe just finding one or two other things you have to have. Also, their items most of the time is one of a kind. It doesn't mean it'll still be there tomorrow like you think, because you didn't put a hold on it. Also, it would be a lot better for you and your vendor's not to be shouting to them and having to talk loud, by buying a small loudspeaker that everyone under the tent can get your attention and it looks more organized. Especially if you're going to be doing these events all the time, you really need to get a small loudspeaker. Speakers also work very good for functions and celebrations, even in your restaurant if you tell someone something so you don't have to shout, especially since you want their attention. I'm sure since they're older people at the fair, they would appreciate a loud speaker! Jingle bell rock!❄️☃️🎅

Have you guys started the Mapperton Fiddlers Contest yet? Why not piggyback it onto the Mapperton Christmas Fair, and why not have a Fair in the summer too? July or August would be nice. When is the weather the best? "Bring the Family and A Picnic to the First Annual Mapperton Fiddler's Contest, Country Dance, and Art Fair". Give stimulus to fiddlers, folk songs, country music and old country dances! Support the Arts! Also, I think you need to have colored pennant flags hanging in a line somewhere for the fair. Like around the parking lot area. Its so cute and festive looking! Get people a little excited!

So happy the Christmas fair was a great success! Praying everyone has a great Christmas and New Year celebration.

Holly is a force of nature. Your whol3 team and yourself look like driven, positive people. Cherish that !

"crazy wonderful" Julie, you make my day!! You girl, you save Mapperton from deterioration as so many Manor Houses in England at this time nowadays.🤗❤ Applaud to you!🤴👸

What a wonderful Christmas fair! Really enjoyed watching this and seeing all the amazing booths!

I am OVER THE MOON thrilled for your success. Just started following you and wish I was there for the fair. Here's wishing you all the most beautiful season. Merry Christmas! 🌼

I am from Nebraska USA. We have had Christmas craft fairs for as long as I can remember. They are so much fun with so many talented people with their wonderful wares! When will we see the Earl and Countess again? I love them please have them on again soon!

Really neat to see y’all and the Christmas Fair! Can you show the treats & drinks you’re selling next time? Maybe how you make some of them, too. Thanks!! Merry Christmas!

I know it was a lot of work for all of you, however, it looked like so much fun. Thank you for listing the local artists websites as I enjoyed scrolling their beautiful pieces. Congratulations and Merry Christmas.

I enjoyed watching this. It's a nice thing that you are doing for your neighbors as well as yourself to keep Mapperton going. Hope you do it again next year and you have better weather.

We have many Christmas Bazaars where I live in Kentucky, USA. I love them. I knew the word of the day because Downton Abbey. You are an absolute darling, Julie. Happy Christmas to you and Luke and family!

Happy Christmas Luke, Julie and family. And yes the word Christmas in the title did get me to watch this video first. So Luke was right.

Marvellous idea to organise this X-mas Fair! Congratulations on the success!!!

The people of England really know how to put on a craft fair. Absolutely enchanting.

Love you guys ..fun to watch state side

Anxiously waiting for the decorations around the house! :)!

Yes you deserve an award for producing amazing content! For me it was when you visited your old family castle with your father in law and his sister! Fabulous❤

Julie love that you went around and showed us so much of the venders wares. Just lovely all the way around. 🎄💕

I’m in Naples Florida US & I loved this video. I wish I could be there & shop the many amazing vendors! Mapper ton is on my list to visit on my next trip to the UK!!!

I absolutely loved your tour of the vendors and their stalls!

In Australia we do a very little Xmas in July. It's the closest thing we have to a white Xmas

I am just getting to watch this episode and I got to tell you that we have experienced 65-75 mile an hour wind gusts here in Colorado. In some parts even higher! This spring and last summer. So glad your fair didn’t blow away.😊

I wish I could live close by so as to help out with things Mapperton. I love feeling like I am part of a family and the estate is like mine. I have an older small house so I understand there is always something in needing a "fix or replace". Wishing all of you a Merry ànd Blessed Christmas from Pennsylvania USA

Bovine collagen worked wonders, but as a vegetarian I had to switch to marine collagen. The one I currently use does ok - not as good as the Bovine, so I will try the Correxiko next order - it's in my Amazon cart. Thanks for the recommendation.

Hi Julie from Newcastle Australia. I thoroughly enjoy all your videos . Mapperton is amazing. Thankyou for sharing your beautiful home with its amazing history. I admire you and Luke for all you do to preserve it for future generations .

Can't believe what you and your husband are doing !!!!! It's absolutely amazing beautiful and I am so HAPPY for all your successes!!

2:22 I love to have an extra Christmas in July 🎄

Hi Julie...we do have craft shows in the U.S and have had since the 80s or before that I remember, usually ones for every season. The summer ones are usually combined with county fairs and always the day or weekend after Thanksgiving leading all the way up to Christmas. Christmas in July is also a great craft show time.

I used your demo from last year to make a whole lot of Christmas crackers! I’m not a crafty person, but I love engineering these small explosive 💥Christmas crackers. Using paper towel rolls cut in half! Bought 140 cracker strips on line!

So happy the fair was such a big success. It looked so fun. Merry Christmas!

Love The Word of the Week! Wish I lived there and was able to enjoy the fair in person. Great job Everyone!

Market looks like such fun. I love the historic word of the week, I already knew the ones so far, but I watch a lot of British programming.

Omg! Those crochet bags!!! My great aunt crocheted me a variety of hobo bags, fully lined and beaded in the 70's! They were gorgeous....sure wish I had them now. Turquoise, yellow, orange, blue, brown, black, red, green, pink and others..at least one for every outfit! Ain't Jo, still miss you!!!

Would you believe me if I said I'm beyond excited about the cottage makeover reveal? Cannnn't waaaaiiittt..........

Julie, again, you are so impressive 👏 😍 the greatest and most industrious Super Star Mapperton has ever had. Your energy, devotion, passion is endless. You also have a great team. Congratulations to you my dear. You inspire me everytime I watch. You're family is so blessed to have you! So is England! Merry Christmas love from Tampa ♥️✝️🎄

Everything about Mapperton, Luke, Julie and your children, brings me such joy, and warms my heart. I'm so glad to have found both channels, Julie. Happy holidays to you and yours 🇺🇲🇬🇧💞

I loved the whole video and hope you exceeded the goal of attendance, but my highlight was Holly shoveling wood chips. What a trooper!

Wow, really awesome Christmas 🎄 market, well done for surviving the stormy weather, the good old Christmas spirit kept you all happy merry even so thank goodness. Thank you for another really enjoyable Mapperton video!

Oh my goodness...so much work, so much cold, and yet you're all having so much fun. What a great raffle prize!!!! Wonderful video...Luke is right, we all love Christmas! ❤️ 🎄

For next year, consider having someone who knows crafts do a walk around. You might also consider researching whether or not there are any well-known local crafts persons with KZread channels who might want to do interviews. It will build excitement for next year's event.

The USA does have small community craft fairs at Christmas and a few other times throughout the year where local artisans sell their products.

Julie does have some Cora Crawley (Downton Abbey) vibe, doesn't she? 😍😍

Julie, Community fairs with local artists are all the rage here in California. I agree that they were not always a big deal when we were growing up in the US.

How very, very lovely! Kudos to all who made this day so special and especially Julie for, well, being so very enthusiastically Julie!!

I live outside Nashville, TN and Christmas/Holiday Fairs are a annual thing and they begin mid-October and run up to Christmas! I go to an average of 6 - sometimes more since new ones pop up every year. The new thing is Barn Sales and they are seasonal - Spring/Fall/Christmas.

I definitely clicked a little quicker because the title is “A Very British Christmas “ Loved the vlog and Merry Christmas.

I'm so happy your Christmas Fair is growing so fast! I know it helps to have a great event planner, but I have to say that you are a great spokesperson for Mapperton. Count me in as one who loves the English House Word segment (did I get that right?). Merry Christmas to you and Luke and your entire family and staff!

I love your jacket and am curious where that comes from as I've been looking for one that has a relaxed fit and nice big pockets. Maybe you can do a wardrobe video with info on your favorites.

Happy Holidays from Missouri, what a nice Christmas fair you have there,,all the crochet hats and scarfs are wonderful...and the yummy goodies,lol...

Julie, here in the south we have Christmas fairs. I too lived in Chicago and Waukeegan for 2 years and I missed the Christmas fairs of the South. If you get back to America, come at Christmas and go to Nashville, or another great city of the south and you will find great Christmas fairs.

The Christmas Faire looked amazing with a fantastic mix of local vendors... thank you for sharing.

So excited for 2nd Christmas Fair! You are amazing! Much Love from America! Can't wait to share our clean water products and soil enhancements as well as fertilizer NO Petrochemicals Plant based! Coming to UK in March hope to schedule see you then!

Loved seeing the Christmas fair. What fun. Merry Christmas to everyone at Mapperton and much love🎄❤️

In US, will check website for goodies! Lovely!

We have these in small towns, love Christmas fairs❤🎄⛪️

So much fun!

Congrats on the Christmas Fair success! Happy Christmas!

Smiled throughout the entire video! Loved it. Some ideas for ur future Christmas Market Fair event...bcz after next year it becomes the Annual Mapperton Christmas Market Fair! Maybe consider a Short or quick prelude a month and the fortnight before to post those who will have stalls and mark who ships to US and/or globally as lots of people might want to shop early. Also, for the raffle, two suggestions. 1. Add an online only basket so those who watch can buy tickets. 2. Create a raffle section where the stall owners and/or other local businesses can donate a basket to ur cause. People buy various amounts of tickets and drop them into a collection box associated with the gift basket. People like to win! Congratulations on a successful holiday event!

Congratulations! It looked wonderful!

Love word of the week 👍

Great job Chris and staff!!! :) :)

It's March right now and I have just watched your Christmas fair video! It all looks fantastic. You've done a great job with Mapperton. Thank you! I will look through the selection of vendors!

So glad it went well👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎄

Happy Holidays! 🥰

Fabulous Festive Fair ❤

Looks like The Christmas Market is a great success. A lot of talent with the arts and crafts:)

I can’t wait to see the house decorated this year.

Lovely video, Christmas fairs are such fun! Even though they are a lot of work, it always seems like happy work.

This type of Christmas market is pretty popular in the southern USA. Loved this episode! Happy holidays to you and yours!

Merry 🎄 Christmas . You guys are darling❕️

What an amazing event with a wonderful array of vendors!👍🏼😊 Merry Christmas to you and all the Mapperton family🎄 Many blessings for a healthy and happy New Year!🙏❤️🥰

Looks like a fun Christmas Fair. Y’all have a great staff who seem as devoted to Mapperton as you and Luke.

It’s been pouring with rain here too in Auckland NZ too and we don’t have the excuse that it is winter. Summer seems to have forgotten to arrive this year😵‍💫
