Haddon Hall’s Mercatum Christmas Artisan Market runs for six weeks, with stalls set throughout the medieval hall, courtyard, gardens and grounds.

More than 750 artisans are due to take part across the full run, with exhibitors changing during the event. Products include ceramics, jewellery, art, food, candles, stationery and other handmade goods.

The fairytale setting of Haddon Hall is even more magical during the season with twinkling lights, elegant decorations and stunning Christmas trees. Visitors can tuck into delicious street food, hot chocolate and mulled wine from a number of stalls, while enjoying live music to complete the cosy festive atmosphere.

Visits are divided into morning and afternoon sessions, with lower-priced twilight tickets also available. Adult admission is currently £13.60, children aged 5–15 £5, and under-fives free. Visitors arriving by public transport, bicycle or on foot can buy an all-day Green Travel ticket for £10.50.

Pre-booking is essential.
