Canterbury Christmas Market 2025

What's on this year

Welcome to the Enchanting World of Canterbury Christmas Market!

Events are added as dates and times are confirmed.  Please check back here often.

As the winter chill begins to grace the historic city of Canterbury, the air fills with the unmistakable aroma of mulled wine and roasted chestnuts, heralding the arrival of the much-anticipated Canterbury Christmas Market. Nestled amidst the cobbled streets and framed by the iconic Canterbury Cathedral, this seasonal market is the epitome of Yuletide joy.

From the moment you step into the market, you’re transported into a winter wonderland adorned with twinkling fairy lights, charming wooden chalets, and the soft melodies of Christmas carols echoing in the background. It’s a place where the spirit of Christmas comes alive, offering a magical experience that captures the hearts of both the young and the young-at-heart.
