Peterborough Cathedral is set to be transformed into a festive wonderland this November, as it welcomes back its much-anticipated Christmas Craft and Gift Market. Taking place from Friday 14 to Sunday 16 November, this year’s event will feature more than 130 stalls showcasing the very best in seasonal gifts, local crafts, food and drink.
Now firmly established as a highlight of the city’s festive calendar, the market has been growing year on year. In response to record visitor numbers and popular demand, organisers have added an extra day on Sunday for the first time, making this the largest Christmas market ever hosted at the Cathedral and one of the biggest in the region.
Shoppers can expect a unique experience in one of the area’s most iconic and atmospheric settings. With the magnificent Cathedral as a backdrop, stallholders will offer everything from handcrafted jewellery, textiles and artwork to artisan food, festive decorations and luxury treats. The market provides the perfect opportunity to find meaningful, locally made gifts while supporting independent businesses, artists and producers.
Markets Organiser, Natalie Freeman of Peterborough Cathedral said:
“We are delighted to be hosting the Christmas Craft and Gift Market again this year. It’s always such a joy to see the Cathedral filled with creativity and festive cheer. The event not only supports local artisans and small businesses but also offers visitors a truly special way to start the Christmas season. The market has grown tremendously over the past few years, and we are thrilled that it has become one of the biggest and most anticipated events in the area.”
The market will run across three days:
- Friday 14 November – 1-8pm
- Saturday 15 November – 10-5pm
- Sunday 16 November – 12-4pm
