Christmas Market on The Hill, Wickham Market

On Saturday, 28th November, the sounds of singers, the smell of hot food, and the sight of 40 stalls on The Hill at Wickham Market’s Christmas Market will officially kick off the village’s Christmas preparations. The independent businesses around The Hill will be joined by 40 skilled makers and producers, bringing together a truly local Christmas Market. From hot sauce to spice up your sprouts to small-batch beers from Felixstowe, and handmade gifts to organic skin care products, wreaths and decorations, visitors to the market will find a treasure trove of unique Christmas gift ideas. For some, Christmas shopping is a real chore, but Wickham’s Christmas Market makes it a fun and uplifting experience for the whole family. The people who run the stalls are often the same ones who craft their products in workshops and small kitchens, creating a unique and personal connection to each item, A visit to Santa’s grotto (organised by the school PTA) is a must for children. For the adults, Nigel Ashcroft will be singing Christmas classics, and the primary school choir will perform to enhance the festive atmosphere. The outdoor Christmas Market will be held from 9am to 2pm on Saturday, 28th November, at The Hill in Wickham Market. Paid parking is available in nearby car parks. Wickham Market Parish Council organises the Christmas Market and is assisting stallholders in reducing their use of single-use plastic carrier bags.
