We are holding our traditional Christmas Fair over two weekends this winter, on 29-30 November and 6-7 December. The Christmas Fair forms the centrepiece of our Christmas at Exbury event, and is open from 10am to 7.30pm on Saturday 29 November and Saturday 6 December, and 10am to 4pm on Sunday 30 November and Sunday 7 December.
We are very keen to develop Christmas at Exbury, to allow us to offer the best possible visitor experience. With this in mind, we have decided to trial the idea of merging the daytime and evening events by keeping the Christmas Fair open until 7.30pm on both Saturdays of this year’s Christmas at Exbury weekends. As there will be no access to the gardens on these evenings, there will be no charge to enter the Christmas Fair after 4pm, and tickets are not required.
This has only been possible thanks to our wonderful Christmas traders, whose support has been amazing.
Our Christmas Fair will feature a fantastic line-up of local producers with more than 75 traders across the two weekends and festive food and drink. The following activities will also be available as part of Christmas at Exbury, until 4pm only.
- Access to 200 acres of beautiful woodland gardens.
- Meet Father Christmas and take home a lovely gift*
- Join the elves on our Festive Express train*
- Meet the visiting donkeys and even have a ride*
- Free Family Christmas Trail.
- Free Arts and Crafts in the Engine Shed – write a letter to Santa or hang a wish on the tree.
- Free Car Parking.
There will be many different stalls each weekend so why not visit twice?!
*Separate tickets available, not included in Christmas Fair and gardens admission.
