Trentham Christmas Makers Markets
21 November – 6 December 2026
Trentham Shopping Village, Trentham Estate, Trentham, Staffordshire(ST4 8JG)
For three weekends from late November into early December, a Christmas makers' market comes to the timber lodges of Trentham Shopping Village on the Trentham Estate. Artists and craftspeople bring original artwork and contemporary craft, vintage traders bring their finds, and local producers, some of them award winners, offer artisan food and drink to taste. It is a chance to talk to the people who made what you are buying and to come away with gifts that are one of a kind. The village also has its own cafés and restaurants. The market is at Trentham, Stoke-on-Trent, in Staffordshire, and it costs nothing to get in or to park.
