Wincanton Christmas Fair
Tuesday 1 December 2026
Wincanton Racecourse, Wincanton, Somerset(BA9 8BJ)
After 25 years, the Wincanton Christmas Fair is holding its final day of gift shopping, all in aid of Children's Hospice South West. This charity fair takes over Wincanton Racecourse in Somerset, filling a huge marquee kept warm by heating, where carpet covers a raised floor and windows the full height of one side let daylight in. Around 50 independent traders take stalls, among them Black Mountain Smokery, New Forest Shortbread, Mon Petit Cashmere and Weymouth Chilli Sauce Co., with a stall for the hospice too. For a break, the Kingwell Suite next door runs a café all day with hot drinks, snacks and light lunches, and a raffle offers a luxury hamper as the prize. Entry costs £5, and parking at the racecourse is free.
