Ferryhill to Host Christmas Market Friday 27th November 2026
Ferryhill Town Council will be hosting its very own Christmas Market this year. The event, which will form part of the Town’s Annual Christmas Fayre will see more stallholders than ever before attending the event, to sell their goods. The event will include a variety of stalls including arts, crafts, jewellery, toys, sensory gifts, Christmas hampers, knitted goods, bath & body products as well as street food, and much more. The event will offer residents the perfect opportunity to pick up their Christmas gifts.
The Christmas Market will be taking place in the Market Place Car Park from 1.00pm – 6.00pm on Friday, 27th November 2026. The event will be joined by Children’s show rides and at 4.00pm there will also be Children’s Entertainment, facepainting and Santa’s Grotto. Carol singing by local school children will take place in the Town Hall Garden at 4.15pm followed by the official Christmas Lights Switch-on at 4.30pm.
