Christmas Market at Weald & Downland Living Museum
Saturday 21 November – Sunday 22 November 2026
Weald & Downland Living Museum, Singleton, West Sussex(PO18 0EU)
Many of the 50-plus historic buildings at Weald & Downland Living Museum, an open-air museum at Singleton, West Sussex, were taken down elsewhere and put up again in the South Downs National Park. Over a weekend in late November it hosts a Christmas Market of up to 100 stalls selling gifts, handmade crafts, artisan food from local producers and seasonal treats. Music and festive entertainment, warming drinks and family activities add to the atmosphere, and a ticket also lets you look round the museum while it prepares for Christmas. Entry is by ticket booked ahead on the museum's website, and a free park-and-ride from Goodwood Racecourse runs throughout the day.
