Spice up Your Sprouts at Wickham Market’s Christmas Market

On Saturday, 29th November, the sounds of singers, the smell of hot food, and the sight of 40 stalls on The Hill at Wickham Market’s Christmas Market will officially kick off the village’s Christmas preparations.

The independent businesses around The Hill will be joined by 40 skilled makers, crafters and producers, bringing together a truly local Christmas Market.  From hot sauce to spice up your sprouts to small-batch beers and handmade gifts to organic skin care products, wreaths and decorations, visitors to the market will find a treasure trove of unique Christmas gift ideas and stocking fillers.

For some, Christmas shopping is a real chore, but Wickham’s Christmas Market makes it a fun experience for the whole family. The people who run the stalls are often the same ones who craft their products in workshops and small kitchens, creating a unique and personal connection to each item.

A visit to Santa’s grotto (organised by the school PTA) is a must for children. For the adults,  there will be performances by Kelly Booth as Vocally Vintage, and the primary school and community choirs.

Wickham Market Parish Council organises the Christmas Market and is assisting stallholders in reducing their use of single-use plastic carrier bags. With support from East Suffolk Council, free reusable shopping bags will be handed out to shoppers to fill with goodies.  

The outdoor Christmas Market will be held from 9am to 2pm on Saturday, 29th November, at The Hill in Wickham Market. Paid parking is available in nearby car parks.
