The Big Day is just around the corner, which means it’s time to do your Christmas shopping… and where is more festive to do so than at a Christmas Market in the New Forest?!
With wonderfully decorated stalls, Christmas lights glistening all around, the scent of roasted chestnuts (and sometimes even mulled wine!) and the perfect gifts to buy, a Christmas Market is one of the best ways to get into the festive spirit this Christmas!
There are plenty of Christmas Markets to choose from across the magical New Forest – take a look at all of the events listed below!
Make sure you don’t miss the marvellous New Forest Christmas Fair, taking place on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 December at Exbury Gardens. Find some unusual, yet perfect, gifts for friends and family and you can even purchase some delicious local produce to add to your spread on the big day!
Due to the great success last year, The Green Dragon in Brook are holding another Christmas market on Saturday 7 December. Head to this lovely pub between 11am and 5pm to have a mooch around loads of stalls, buy some great Christmas presents, listen to some live music and enjoy some tasty food and drink. You can also get into the Christmas spirit at Durlston Court on 22 November with an afternoon of mulled wine, festive food and shopping at their annual Christmas market.
Make your way to Christmas in Ringwood on 1 December to browse through the market stalls, visit Santa in his grotto, enjoy the live entertainment and make sure you stick around for the fantastic lights switch on!
Hythe, Lymington, New Milton & Ringwood have brilliant weekly markets throughout the year, which get fantastically festive in the run up to Christmas and have an amazing range of stalls selling some great and unique gifts – so, head to one of our Town & Village markets to pick up some great presents!
