Christmas Markets at Avebury

Why not do some Christmas shopping at a selection of local gift stalls at Avebury? Browse a range of artisanal products while listening to carols and festive music.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event

Continue your Christmas shopping and support local makers with a range of handmade goods on offer at the market. There will be different stallholders at each weekend of the market so plenty of opportunity to browse a wide variety of products including textiles, recycled wood, jewellery, and handmade dog treats. Why not come back a couple of times to see the lovely crafts on offer? All set within the atmospheric seventeenth century threshing barn, there will be carols and music each afternoon.

Please note: due to the lack of mobile signal at Avebury, card payment devices can be unreliable so please bring cash.

*Update: All stallholder pitches are now full.*
