The Pantiles, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent · South East England
A small boutique market of wooden chalets along Tunbridge Wells' historic Georgian colonnade, open on weekends from mid-November and daily just before Christmas.
The Pantiles, the colonnaded Georgian walkway at the heart of Royal Tunbridge Wells, hosts a boutique Christmas market in wooden chalets. It is small, with 14 chalets in 2026, and focused on independent gift traders, artisan products and festive treats.
The bandstand hosts live musicians, community choirs, local theatre groups and mini pantomime performances through the season, and the walkway is decorated with a Christmas tree and lights, with a lights switch-on event at the start. The market is free to visit.
