This weekend houses are opening up and converting into galleries for a weekend. This is the last weekend of the open houses and sees artists and crafty types display a big mix of original art from painting and sculptures, to ceramics, jewelery, textiles and lighting. They're clustered fairly close to each other so they're good to pop into for a casual stroll about town. Since they operate under a vague premise that people may buy some of these (perhaps they will, but it's not a necessity), they also have cards and hand-made Christmas decorations. The style and prices vary, so it's worth trying different places as they're all different.
The artists will also be around the chat to (Note: this does not translate to 'breathing heavily over your shoulder as you look at their pieces - the open houses have a much more laid back feel).
Many offer mulled wine and 'Christmas fare', although I'm not entirely sure what the latter is - I believe it might mean cake. Print a map and go for a nose around the houses.
