Get ready to step into the spirit of Christmas as Beaumanor Hall’s Festive Gift Fair returns this November.

Bringing together the best of Leicestershire’s local artists and crafters, the three weekend events and early-bird VIP shopping evening are popular with visitors from across the county and beyond.

Taking place across three consecutive weekends, 28 (VIP shopping evening), 29 and 30 November, 6 and 7 December and 13 and 14 December, the event will showcase more than 60 local makers and crafters. Doors are open from 10am-4pm on each day of the fair.

More than 5,000 visitors passed through the hallways of Leicestershire County Council’s Beaumanor Hall at last year’s event, and this year’s offering looks to be bigger and better than ever with live music entertainment, refreshments and seasonal gifts with a twist.

With a variety of traders, there’s something for everyone, from handcrafted jewellery and glass art to festive home décor, cheeses, chutneys and more.

 “The Festive Gift Fair at Beaumanor Hall is more than just a shopping event - it’s a celebration of local creativity, and the dedication and commitment from our small businesses.

“Every year the events prove to be popular amongst crafters and visitors alike, and it’s a wonderful way for people to come together and support local while enjoying a festive day out.”


Visitors can expect live music and festive entertainment, while indulging in seasonal treats like mulled wine, mince pies and other traditional favourites with a festive twist.

Whether you are searching for that perfect present, enjoying a festive day trip, or simply looking to be inspired by local craftmanship, Beaumanor Hall’s Festive Gift Fair is the place to be this Christmas.

Visitors have the option to pre-book their visit for a discounted price or come on the day. Parking is free and entry is free for anyone aged 12 and under.
