The Christmas Cotswold Fair
Monday 9 November – Thursday 12 November 2026
Todenham Manor Farm, Todenham, Gloucestershire(GL56 9NW)
In 2026 the Christmas Cotswold Fair reaches its 41st year, and it calls itself the leading independent festive event in the Cotswolds. Its founder started it from her own home in 1985, inspired by Live Aid, with a few friends raising money for charity, and it is still family-run. More than 220 independent makers and brands fill a marquee on the Todenham Manor Farm estate, with jewellery, clothing, candles, homeware, food and drink, decorations and gifts for pets. Free demonstrations can be booked with your ticket, from cocktails and wreaths to oysters and a Christmas wine tasting, while bookable hour-long workshops let you make a wreath, crackers or clay decorations to take home. Authors sign their books, two cafés serve food throughout, and all profits go to the children's charity WellChild.

Where do I park?
There is free field parking, or you can add pre-paid parking on hard ground when you buy your ticket. Staff direct you on arrival, and you need to display your parking pass.
Can I bring my dog?
No. Only guide dogs are permitted at the fair, and dogs should not be left in vehicles.
Is the fair accessible?
The fair is held in a marquee that is accessible for wheelchair users, and there are disabled toilets on site. Because it is in a field, the ground from the car park to the marquee can be uneven; ask the car-park staff if you need help. Baby changing facilities are on site.
What can I buy, and who is there?
More than 220 independent brands and makers. The fair's brand directory groups them into jewellery, fashion accessories, toys and games, gifts, women's, men's and children's clothing, skincare and wellness, candles, interiors, food and drink, stationery and books, art, Christmas decorations and pets. Most stallholders take cards; the fair suggests bringing some cash as well, which is also useful for donations to WellChild.
What are the demonstrations and workshops?
Demonstrations are free tutorials with chefs, interior designers and other specialists, such as a cocktail masterclass, wreath making and wine tasting; they are free and can be booked alongside your ticket. Workshops are paid, hands-on sessions of about an hour where you make something to take home, such as a wreath, clay ornaments, hand-printed cards or a leather keyring, at £30 to £50 a person, with classes limited to 10. Book both when you buy your ticket, or add them to a ticket you already hold.
Is there food and drink?
Yes. Refreshments and meals are on sale throughout the fair from the Potted Goose Cafe and the Herd Cafe. The fair asks visitors not to bring their own food or drink.
Where does the money go?
All profits go to the children's charity WellChild. The fair says it has raised over £1.5 million for children's charities since 1985.
