Community Christmas Fair

Queen Street Mill's Community Christmas Fair is back – and it's bigger, brighter, and more festive than ever.
This December, step into the magic of the season at our spectacular Christmas Fair, set within the iconic Queen Street Mill. We're celebrating the incredible creativity of our community with over 20 unique stalls showcasing the very best from local artists, artisans, independent retailers – and our amazing friends, family, and volunteers.
From handwoven and knitted textiles to artisan homewares, festive decorations, stunning jewellery, delicious confectionery, and beautiful artwork – there's something for everyone (and plenty of perfect gifts!).
Your ticket includes full access to the historic Queen Street Mill Museum – a chance to explore this remarkable building, feel the thunder of original heritage machinery in action, and enjoy live demonstrations that bring the mill's fascinating story to life.
Entry to the museum and fair is just £3 for adults, and under 18's are free.
Hungry? Grab a bite from The Wood Hut, serving mouthwatering wood-fired pizza. And for that festive touch, our onsite café will be serving tea, coffee, festive punch, mince pies, and irresistible cakes.
Family fun awaits! Enjoy free festive crafts and meet some very special guests – Ms. Rachel, Elsa, and Spiderman will be joining us to spread cheer and smiles!
With Ms Rachel you can take part in interactive story time, singing and nursery rhymes, what's in the bag, bubbles, and games. (11:30am – 12:00pm)
Don't miss meeting Elsa and taking part in a Frozen sing-along, dancing, magic wishes, ice powers, and royal princess etiquette training. (12:45pm – 1:15pm)
Join Spider-Man in Interactive story time, games, Superhero training academy, and learning how to dodge the villains and save the day! (2pm – 2:30pm)
Spaces to meet the characters are limited – so make sure to book now to avoid missing out! We kindly ask that you book no more than 2 adult tickets per child to ensure we have plenty of room for activities. Please visit our what's on page to book.
