Chiddingstone Castle Christmas Fair
Saturday 21 November 2026
Chiddingstone Castle, Edenbridge, Kent(TN8 7AD)
Looking out over the Kent countryside near Edenbridge, Chiddingstone Castle opens its historic rooms to Christmas shoppers for a one-day Christmas fair. More than 60 hand-picked stalls fill the house and a big heated marquee outside, bringing together artisans, craft makers, vintage dealers and small creative businesses. Look for presents, decorations, festive food and drink, and one-off vintage pieces you won't come across in town-centre shops. Food vendors are on hand, along with Barristo coffee and other hot drinks. Parking is free on the day, and all the profit from tickets goes to the independent charitable trust that looks after the castle, its collections and its grounds, so bring friends along and turn it into a day out.
