Knutsford Christmas Market
Saturday 5 – Sunday 6 December 2026 Opens in 56 days
Saturday and Sunday
King Street and Knutsford town centre, Knutsford, Cheshire · North West England
A two-day festive street market of over 120 traders a day along Knutsford's historic King Street.
Knutsford Town Council's Christmas market fills the Cheshire town's historic King Street and centre for a weekend in early December. The council says more than 120 traders a day sell local food and drink, crafts and gifts, with mulled wine and seasonal food along the way.
A free park and ride shuttle runs all weekend from Booths Hall (WA16 8GS) to Knutsford bus station to ease pressure on town-centre car parks. For 2026 the market has been separated from the Christmas lights switch-on, which takes place on Saturday 21 November.
