Craft Fayre

Victorian Christmas Market – Craft Fayre

We’re inviting local makers, artists and small businesses to be part of our Victorian themed Christmas Market Craft Fayre – a Dickens-inspired indoor street scene with twinkling lights, evergreen garlands and cosy “shopfronts” dressed for the season. We’ll do what we can but it won’t be Worcester.

The market will be open to the public as follows:

Friday 5th December: 10:00am – 7:00pm
Saturday 6th December: 9:00am – 6:00pm

Across both days, visitors will be able to browse the Craft Fayre. Vendors are drawn from the local community, giving genuine character to the event and offering small businesses a seasonal platform.

Why exhibit with us?

Sell your work in a street-style marketplace, complete with festive décor and Christmas trees.
Local focus: We prioritise locally produced, handmade and thoughtfully designed products.
Live entertainment:
- Milford Quire – Friday 2pm–3pm: traditional carols and Victorian harmonies to set the mood.
- Family Discos: Friday 5pm and Saturday 3:30pm with local DJ Joe Muggs, playing festive mixes and retro, family-friendly tunes to keep footfall and energy high.
Indoor, all-weather event: Stalls are under cover in our arcade and retail areas, so you and your stock stay dry and comfortable.
