About

Winchester Cathedral Christmas Market is recognised as one of the best in Europe.

Taking place in November and December each year, Winchester Cathedral's Christmas Market is renowned for its bustling atmosphere, stunning location and handpicked high quality exhibitors, which attracts visitors from around the world each year who come to shop at the pretty wooden chalets, situated within the historic grounds.

The wooden chalets are inspired by traditional German Christmas Markets, and combined with the festive lighting, the sound of Christmas carols and the aroma of mulled wine and cinnamon drifting in the air, visitors will be transported into a festive setting to purchase their Christmas gifts and take in the atmosphere.

For those in search of an authentic Christmas experience, the Cathedral is at the heart of the city's celebration, with its many Christmas services, carol concerts, events.

Admission to the Christmas Market is free, no pre-booking required, unless you are a coach organiser. Coach organisers must book via Winchester Cathedral.
