New exhibition celebrating 10 years of Hestercombe Gallery.
This event has ended
Come and explore our bustling annual Christmas Market near Taunton in the heart of Somerset, featuring festive stalls bursting with beautiful locally-sourced gifts, delicious treats and unique hand-crafted items.
We'll be selling festive food and drink including wonderfully crumbly mince pies, creamy hot chocolate, and homemade mulled wine.
Visitors to the market will receive free admission to the gardens, house and contemporary art gallery – just show proof of your Christmas Market admission at the Visitor Reception desk.
9am - 5pm, Friday 17th, Saturday 18th & Sunday 19th November 2023
To enable us to maintain a smooth flow of visitors to the market we will be operating timed ticketed slots.
All tickets include complimentary gardens admission. You will only be able to access the gardens with this ticket from the start of your allocated timeslot onwards. The gardens close at 5pm. Children under the age of 15 can enter the market for free - there is no need to book a ticket.
Whilst we all sincerely love four-legged friends at Hestercombe, unfortunately because it can get quite busy throughout the event, for safety reasons we cannot allow them into any part of the Christmas Market. However, they are still very welcome throughout the gardens, shop, plant centre and cafe as usual.
Applications to exhibit in this year's Christmas Market are closed. To be added to our mailing list for our 2024 Christmas Market, please email us and we shall contact you in early January 2024 with further information, dates and how to apply.
