The Christmas countdown is on! Join us in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon for four days of festive shopping, food, entertainment and Christmas cheer.

The Stratford-upon-Avon Christmas Markets take place over two weekends:

Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th November 2025

Saturday 5th & Sunday 6th December 2025

The market will stretch across Bridge Street, Waterside and Henley Street, with over 200 independent traders offering everything from handmade gifts and artisan products to festive food, sweet treats and warming winter drinks.

There will be plenty to keep the whole family entertained, with live performances from local schools and choirs, Shakespeare's Morris, roaming entertainment, a stilt walker and live DJs helping to create a lively festive atmosphere throughout the market.

With the historic streets of Stratford-upon-Avon illuminated by Christmas lights, the markets are the perfect place to get your Christmas shopping started, meet friends for festive food and drink, or simply soak up the atmosphere.

Why not make a weekend of it? Stratford-upon-Avon has plenty of independent shops, restaurants, attractions and beautiful hotels to explore, so there is lots to enjoy beyond the market itself.

Market opening times:

Saturdays: 10am–8pm

Sundays: 10am–5pm

Location:

Bridge Street, Waterside and Henley Street, Stratford-upon-Avon town centre
