A three-day Christmas craft and food fair at Blair Castle in Highland Perthshire, held in the castle's ballroom and a tented village outside.

Blair Castle's Christmas market fills the Banvie Hall, the castle's ballroom, and a tented Christmas village outside it for one weekend in late November. It is run by Exclusively Highlands, and the makers and producers are Scottish.

Stalls cover woodwork, metalwork, antler art, ceramics, textiles, knitwear, jewellery, natural skincare and candles, with chocolates, preserves, game, and gins, rums and liqueurs. Street food and the castle restaurant provide hot food.

Tickets can be bought in advance or on the day (card only), and you can come and go at any time between 10am and 4pm. Visitors to the market can add a self-guided tour of the castle, dressed for Christmas, at a reduced price. Dogs are welcome in the gardens and around the outdoor stalls but not inside the castle.
