Good to know
Gardens admission included

Dog policy
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.
Exhibitors
Applications to exhibit in this year's Christmas Market are closed. To be added to our mailing list for our 2023 Christmas Market, please email us and we shall contact you in early January 2023 with further information, dates and how to apply.
