Burghley Christmas Fair
Enjoy a truly magical festive shopping experience at the Burghley Christmas Fair
The beautiful courtyards and grounds of Burghley House will once again be filled with festive chalets, pagodas and marquees bedecked in sparkling Christmas decorations for the annual Burghley Christmas Fair.
The region’s most magical Christmas Fair with over 150 stalls offering a wide range of artisan and unique gifts. Spend the day finding the perfect presents for loved ones and pick up some unique stocking fillers, handmade decorations, and beautiful homewares.
Be sure to take a break from the shopping to enjoy the delicious festive treats on offer from the very best food and drink producers. From traditional mulled wine and indulgent hot chocolate to warming raclette and tempting sweet and savoury crepes, there’s something to tantalise everyone’s tastebuds.
The most wonderful festive day out with lights twinkling, music filling the air, and if you're lucky, a few snowflakes too! Plus, a large Victorian carousel, lit up for the season, adds even more seasonal cheer.
The Burghley Christmas Fair is run in association with the Angel Committee to raise funds for the Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice in Peterborough.
