On Friday 24 November, our Festive Food & Gift Market will be a special extended late-night opening until 7pm. From midday, there’s a chance to visit the Re-Imagine Christmas Community Eco-Grotto with crafty ideas for a more sustainable eco-friendly Christmas celebration.  Plus, festive entertainment around the enchanting lights of the Christmas tree and a special dance performance from 4D Dance Group.

On Friday 22 December, there will be a Festive Craft & Farmers’ Market, followed by a Christmas Craft & Farmers Market on Saturday 23 December. These markets will include popular stalls from Ely Farmers’ Markets featuring everything you need for your festive table.  You will also find Christmas trees, wreaths and flowers to decorate your home for the season. Our Christmas Eve Sunday Market gives you another chance to pick up any last-minute gifts or just relax and enjoy the festive atmosphere.

In addition to the special Christmas Markets, our regular weekly markets continue to run every Thursday, Saturday and Sunday – plus Ely Farmers’ Market on every second and fourth Saturday. Each of these markets has a mixture of craft, food and vintage stalls – plus fresh produce, meat, fish and more.

During the festive season, every market is a Christmas Market. On Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays there is always a wonderful mix of arts and crafts by local makers sitting alongside local produce and artisan food. We’re well known for our street food from around the world and there’s plenty of space to sit and relax and enjoy the festive atmosphere.
