Meet the Makers Lifestyle

Local suppliers will put on an impressive spread of moreish artisan food and drink tasters for customers to sample between 12noon and 4pm on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd July.
Over the weekend there will also be the chance to learn more about exactly what goes into the making of the luxury food and drink that fills the shelves of the retail destination’s food hall.
The tempting weekend line-up includes Katy Cloud handmade gourmet marshmallows and Ooft Hot Sauce aged savoury sauces from the Scottish Borders – which can be washed down with cider from Thistly Cross.
Giacopazzi’s will be debuting brand new flavours of delicious ice cream, while visitors will also have the chance to learn more about the local produce that goes into Restoration Yard’s very own jams and chutneys.
Sunday will see experimental tablet flavours from Curly Coo in Kelso alongside handcrafted Abbotts Chocolates from Langholm added to the plethora of treats – as well as food for the mind courtesy of the Wellbeing Lab.
As well as 20-minute mindfulness sessions at 1pm and 3pm, visitors can unwind with a 15-minute on-site massage, with slots available throughout the day.
Victoria Gray, Store Manager at Restoration Yard, said: “Our last ‘meet the makers’ event was a success, and we’re thrilled to yet again give people the chance to try fare from some of Scotland’s most talented and innovative food and drink producers. Supporting local suppliers is at the very heart of our food hall and Café.
