Suffolk County Christmas Fair
The Suffolk County Christmas Fair Returns to Hintlesham Hall, Bigger, Brighter, and More Festive Than Ever!
As the festive season approaches, there’s one event that’s fast becoming a shining star on Suffolk’s winter calendar, the Suffolk County Christmas Fair at the magnificent Hintlesham Hall, returning for its third magical year from November 21st to 23rd.
Set in the grounds of one of Suffolk’s most historic and picturesque venues, the fair has grown into a much-anticipated tradition for families, shoppers, and Christmas lovers alike, attracting visitors from across the region and beyond.
This year, organisers promise more sparkle than ever, with over 150 curated stallholders offering a treasure trove of unique gifts, handmade crafts, locally produced food and drink, seasonal decorations, homeware, fashion, and more. Whether you’re looking to tick off your Christmas list or simply soak in the festive atmosphere, there’s something here for everyone.
This is truly the ultimate Christmas shopping experience in Suffolk. Live music will fill the air throughout the event, setting the perfect backdrop as you wander through the beautifully lit stalls and marquees. Children (and grown-ups!) can take
in the sights from the top of the Ferris wheel,
and can also meet Father Christmas as he
anders around the event. Plus they will be stilt walkers, LED performers and even owls attending!
Foodies won’t be disappointed either, expect warming winter treats, mulled wine, locally baked goods, artisan cheeses, Christmas puddings, hand crafted chocolates, and hot food stands serving everything from German sausages to toasted marshmallows.
To make the event as accessible as possible, a free shuttle bus service will be running throughout the weekend from Ipswich and Hadleigh, as well as bookable onsite parking.
The setting of Hintlesham Hall adds another layer of enchantment to the experience. Its elegant backdrop, manicured gardens, and timeless charm make it the perfect place to kick off the Christmas season with style.
Whether you’re a returning visitor or visting for the first time, the Suffolk County Christmas Fair is a celebration of all things festive, local, and joyful. Come along, support brilliant independent businesses, and embrace the warmth, wonder, and community spirit that makes Christmas in Suffolk so special.
