🎄 Winter Craft Market & Wellbeing Fair: The Festive Event Sussex Can’t Wait For!

Looking for the perfect Christmas market in West Sussex this winter? You’ve just found it! A much-loved Winter Craft Market & Wellbeing Fair makes it debut to the South of England Showground in Ardingly on Saturday 29th November 2025, bringing together the best of local crafts, festive shopping, artisan food, and wellbeing magic — all under one roof.

✨ A Festive Market with Heart (and a Little Zen)

The Winter Craft Market isn’t your average Christmas fair — it’s a joyful celebration of local creativity, community, and self-care. With over 70 local makers, crafters, and small businesses from across Sussex, this market is packed with beautiful handmade gifts, home décor, festive treats, and artisan products you won’t find on the high street.

Think cosy knits, handcrafted jewellery, unique decorations, and foodie favourites — all lovingly made by talented independent creators. By shopping here, you’re not just buying gifts; you’re supporting real people and helping keep local creativity alive.

And if that wasn’t enough reason to visit…

🌿 Introducing the Wellbeing & Self-Care Section

We all know the festive season can get a little hectic. That’s why this year’s Winter Market includes a dedicated Wellbeing and Self-Care Zone, giving you the perfect excuse to slow down and recharge.

Expect:

🕯️ Soothing aromatherapy and handmade candles

🌿 Natural skincare and organic beauty

🧘‍♂️ Mindfulness, crystals, and wellness essentials

Because let’s face it — self-care is just as important as gift shopping (and sometimes, they’re the same thing).

🎅 Shop Local This Christmas — It’s Cheaper Than a Coffee!

Yes, really. Tickets to the Winter Craft Market & Wellbeing Fair cost less than a cup of coffee, but every single one helps support local Sussex businesses, independent artisans, and community wellbeing initiatives. ☕❤️

So skip the online shopping scroll, grab your friends, and come experience a festive market filled with charm, cheer, and community spirit. It’s the kind of Christmas shopping that actually feels good.
