Chelmsford Christmas Fairs, Markets & Bazaars 2011

Add News

 

Chelmsford Christmas Fairs, Markets and Bazaars are held between mid October, right up until the last few days before Christmas. There are dozens to choose from in and around the Chelmsford area, plus late night shopping in the High Street, shopping centres and some of the local attractions.

The majority of the Chelmsford Christmas Fairs & Bazaars are run by local charities and schools which rely heavily on the festive season for a large proportion of their annual fundraising. Often within a cheerful, seasonal atmosphere, you can pick up some fantastic gifts at these events, enjoy some festive fun and refreshments, plus the kids can visit Santa in his Grotto and pick up an early Christmas present.

A little further afield, local attractions such as Hylands House, Marsh Farm & Barleylands Farm always have late night shopping evenings where you can do your Christmas shopping in a more relaxed environment. However, if you enjoy the hustle and bustle of the high street, but are fed up with the same old shops, why not give the Billericay Christmas Street Market a try at the beginning of December?

There are also lots of Christmas events going on in and around Chelmsford this year.
You will find these all listed separately in our Chelmsford Christmas Events & Workshops 2011 Guide, so don't miss out

We have searched endlessly to produce our list of Christmas Fairs, Bazaars, Markets and Late Night Shopping events below so you can find them all in one place. However, if you know of any we have missed out, please let us know and we will happily add them for you.
