About
This year our much-loved Christmas Fair is back and this time it’s even bigger!
Our highly anticipated two-day Christmas Fair is back and it’s bigger and better than last year! With an abundance of wonderful stalls, this event will be bursting with festive cheer, Christmas inspiration and delicious hospitality.
We know Christmas takes a lot of planning, so this is the perfect chance to get ahead. Tickets includes entry to the Christmas Fair, parking, access to the Parkland & Walled Garden, as well as a charitable donation and a discount voucher for the Sledmere Christmas Shop.
From 9.30am until 4pm you can wander through wonderful food, drink and craft stalls, meeting the talented producers and makers who use the very best local ingredients and create the most unique festive gifts and decorations. Alongside the shopping, you can take a stroll around the Parkland and Gardens, pop into our Christmas Shops, stock up on all the essentials in the Farm Shop and little ones can enjoy the Adventure Play Area.
This two-day event will be bursting with festive cheer, packed full of stalls, Christmas inspiration and delicious hospitality to keep you fuelled as you explore. We are also proud to be sharing the love this Christmas by supporting the Yorkshire Air Ambulance and The Millie Wright Children’s Charity, with 25p from every ticket sold going directly to these worthy causes.
To keep you refreshed there will be plenty of food and drink options to choose from, including The Coach House Café, The Christmas Fair Barn Café and Coffee Corner in the Farm Shop, each offering something a little different to enjoy.
