Mendip Christmas Fair
Saturday 14 November – Sunday 15 November 2026
Aldwick Court Farm, Redhill, Somerset(BS40 5AL)
Handmade knitwear sold for charity in 1990 was the start of the Mendip Christmas Fair, which now fills Aldwick Court Farm near Redhill for a November weekend, among the vineyards of the Aldwick Estate. Stalls range from Bath Soft Cheese, Black Mountain Smokery and Beach Hut Fudge to cakes, jewellery, cashmere and books, and stallholders are asked to give a tenth of their weekend's takings to the fair's two causes: the Guild of Friends of the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children and Children's Hospice South West. Entry is £5 and children under 16 go in free. There is free parking, refreshments and card payment.
