A three-day food, drink and gift market at Holkham Hall on the north Norfolk coast, with over 60 producers indoors and in courtyard chalets.

Holkham's Christmas market fills the Lady Elizabeth Wing and festive chalets in the outdoor courtyard at Holkham Hall, near Wells-next-the-Sea, with over 60 producers, crafters and small businesses selling food, drink, decorations and gifts. Street food vendors and live music add to the atmosphere.

It now runs over three days. Holkham suggests combining it with a self-led tour of the hall's state rooms by candlelight (booked separately), a walk on Holkham beach, or the shops of Wells-next-the-Sea.

The market is free to enter, with a parking charge for cars. Dogs on leads are welcome at the outdoor stalls but not inside the Lady Elizabeth Wing.
