The Arley Shopping Spectacular
Friday 20 November – Sunday 22 November 2026
Arley Hall & Gardens, Northwich, Cheshire(CW9 6NA)
Arley Hall, a Cheshire family home since the 1400s, hosts a three-day November market on its estate between Northwich, Knutsford and Warrington. Stalls stand both indoors and outside, with independent makers offering one-off gifts and decorations for the season and food and drink traders alongside. Your ticket also opens the estate's 15 acres of gardens, which Arley counts among the finest in Europe, built up by one family over some 270 years: the formal gardens, the Grove arboretum and the Woodland Walk, plus the Chapel and the café. Parking is free, and so are children aged 4 to 16.
