The Bishop’s Stortford Christmas Fayre Programme 2023
Bishop’s Stortford Christmas Fayre
This year’s Bishop’s Stortford Christmas Fayre, supported by Lit Fibre, takes place on Saturday 2nd December. The festivities will begin at 9.30am and continue until 4.30pm. Road closures will be in place with the Fayre stretching across North Street, Market Square, Potter Street, and South Street, all of which will be pedestrianised.
Bishop’s Stortford Christmas Fayre Stalls
Specialty Christmas stalls offering festive items, handcrafted gifts and homeware, food, and drinks will complement the regular traders from the Thursday and
Saturday Market, as well as the monthly Farmer’s and Craft Market, making the Christmas Fayre an event not to miss!
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to tick off your Christmas shopping list. You will be able to explore an exciting array of unique and interesting stalls, selling jewellery, candles, health and beauty products, artisan alcohol, handcrafted gifts, Christmas decorations and much more! Hungry shoppers will be able to keep the cold at bay with delicious, sweet, and savoury, warming delights from the hot food vendors, from traditional German sausages to Mexican treats, to freshly cooked Malaysian street food. Plus, favourites such as brick lane bagels, crêpes, and woodfire pizzas! You can also enjoy a festive beverage, or two,
between browsing the stalls, celebrating the yule tide with a hot mulled wine, boozy hot chocolate and more.
Bishop’s Stortford Christmas Fayre Entertainment
Throughout the town centre there will be a plethora of festive entertainment for the whole family, spreading yuletide joy over the course of the day. Enjoy live
